 (2 Customer Reviews)
Digitally remastered by David Glasser (Airshow Mastering, Boulder, Colorado).
Originally released in 1980, this album presents a meeting of two masters of American acoustic roots music. Ricky Scaggs and Tony Rice have played with a veritable Who's-Who (Emmylou Harris, Vassar Clements, etc.) of country, and each have extensive and varied careers of their own; but that's not why this disc warrants a listen.
SKAGGS & RICE is a gem of classic, rarely heard traditional country duets, with touches of gospel and bluegrass--just vocals, guitar and mandolin. Ricky Scaggs & Tony Rice sing in earnest close harmony, evoking the Brothers Louvin, Delmore, and Everly. The recording has a spare quality that gives this set a timeless feel. There are no fancy or showy displays of gee-whiz instrumental wizardry--just two friends playing traditional music with quiet dignity and heartfelt simplicity.
Recorded at Arch Street Studios, Berkeley, California in 1980. Originally released on Sugar Hill. Includes liner notes by Jon Weisberger.
Personnel: Ricky Skaggs (vocals, mandolin); Tony Rice (vocals, guitar).
CMJ (5/8/00, p.32) - "...With Skaggs on mandolin and Tony Rice on acoustic guitar, the duo's gospel-style vocal harmonies...deliver perfect examples of classic bluegrass."

Skaggs & Rice: The Essential Old-Time Country Duet Recordings album
 $13.19  
In the 1970s, before he became an icon of neo-traditionalist country and contemporary bluegrass, Ricky Skaggs was simply the fiery-fingered guitarist in Emmylou Harris's Hot Band. In 1979, Skaggs introduced himself to the world as a solo artist with SWEET TEMPTATION. You'd be hard pressed to find a purer expression of love for country/bluegrass roots; amid songs from the classic-bluegrass book of the Stanley Brothers, Bill Monroe, etc., Skaggs's earnest voice and energetic flatpicking ring out like a beacon to those with old-school country tastes.

$14.65 
One has to consider the collaborative union of renegade roots music guitarist Tony Rice and woolly Zen bluegrass legend Peter Rowan to be the most natural thing on earth and one that is long overdue. Both are true. While the two have played together on stages and even on record before, You Were There for Me marks their first full-fledged album collaboration. The program features no less than nine Rowan originals and a cover of Peter Lorin's fine "Cowboys and Indians." Rice is in fine playing form here, effortlessly underscoring and filling up Rowan's sung lines, and for his part, the songwriter is in fantastic voice. Accompanied throughout ...

The riveting "Comin' Just to Go" is the youngest sibling in the Sam Payne Project catalog. Already, it's making the family proud: "These guys have really outdone themselves with this one. Don't change a thing!" raves the Southern Utah press. The Sam Payne Project was born on September 12, 2001. The Trade Center towers had fallen the day before, and Payne was in the studio to record a tune for a local compilation album. Eerie in its timeliness, the tune was "Ohio Son," a song written in 1998 about soldiers anticipating what turned out to be U.S. bombing strikes over ...
