Manzanita, 1979
traditional
Where Johnny Cash and Merle Travis play this song straight and slow, as a working song (takes that have failed to grab me), Tony Rice transforms it into a uptempo, fast-paced masterclass in dazzling flatpicking guitar, with clean, rapid, melodic runs, and a polished blend of bluegrass and jazz phrasing. The mandolin, bass, and fiddle hum along with a light, fluid touch, blending bluegrass with jazz phrasing. Rice's smooth, laid-back vocals ler the musicianship take center stage.
