Tony Rice is likely one of the best flatpicking guitarist there is, the guy who introduces him is John Hartford, the banjo picking guy that was on Glen Cambell’s goodtime hour TV show and wrote “Gentle on my mind”. The folks in this band are about as good as it gets including Warren Ohio’s Jerry Douglas…
I always liked his version of Blue Railroad Train http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhI-4Agmax4
They do a lot of picking on this Jimmy Martin classic Free Born Man

But I always liked when Tony got with Norman Blake on the Blake and Rice CD. Norman always writes awesome tunes, while this videos audio isn’t so good it’s worth listening to.
