A BEAUTIFUL NEW YEAR’S EVE
The Tony Rice Unit
On December 31, 1989 the legendary virtuoso of acoustic guitar, Tony Rice, played two inspired sets with his band at the Birchmere, one of the country’s premiere intimate music venues. His band, the Tony Rice Unit, included his younger brother, Wyatt Rice on guitar, mandolinist and vocalist extraordinaire Jimmy Gaudreau on mandolin, fiddler Rickie Simpkins, bassist Mark Schatz and a special guest — bluegrass banjo master Bill Emerson who joined the group for seven tunes. The stellar music that night was recorded by the celebrated sound engineer, Bill Wolf.
Both shows are included here in their entirety, featuring Tony and his group playing and singing many of the classic tunes that he made his own. As Tony himself declared at the end of the show, “Thank you all for a beautiful New Year’s Eve!”
