. Tone Poems
by: David Grisman, Tony Rice
Release Date July 30, 2001
I bought this CD aware of the reputations of both Tony Rice and Peter Rowan in the acoutic guitar circles.All I can say is this is an absolutely stunning album.The musicianship is flawless and the vocal arrangements are impeccable.Opening with the eerie "Dust Bowl Children" and then straight into a beautful rendition of Townes Van Zandts "To Live Is To Fly" - wonderful.The flatpicking staple,"Shady Grove" will have all guitar players scratching their heads and the traditional murder ballad "Cold Rain And Snow" is simply chilling.The bittersweet and creepy female vocal harmonies just add to the atmosphere.If you like your acoustic music served with a bit of bite have a nibble !!!!!
