  • Here’s a cover of one of my favorite songs by Norman Blake…and of course covered on the legendary Tony Rice album of the same name. Here’s a rough backstage version of “Church Street Blues”.
    We are having a blast on this run of shows opening for the incredible Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. As I post this, we are about to go on in Louisville. Hope to see y’all in your town soon! Thanks for watching!
    The guitar is a Pre-War Co. 12 fret 28 style (old growth Indian rosewood back and sides). D’Addario Nickel Bronze Strings (medium gauge) and a BlueChip TAD60 pick.

    Beg to differ with the description, brother. That ain't no 'rough backstage version'. You could release that right now, as is! Seriously, best I ever heard, and not trying to commit sacrilege here, but I have heard Norman and Tony. You got a resonance and a reality to your tone, a real force and hard edge to it that's pleasing to the ear. It's genuine, without trying to be. Dang.

      In essence I agree with your point. However, to play at his level I believe you need to be a perfectionist, which means you notice every little thing that isn't exactly the way you wanted it to sound. Anything less than that is "rough." I've done enough singing to recognize the little glint of annoyance in the eye when a vocal comes out just a little scratchier than you intended because you didn't get two hours to warm up beforehand. Happens to me all the time.

    Wow, what an incredible performance! Your rendition of this beautiful piece is absolutely stunning. The way you made that old guitar sing truly did justice to Tony's masterful style. I was genuinely moved by your playing and singing; it brought out all the emotions that make this song so special. It's clear you have a deep respect and understanding of Tony's music, and your interpretation honors his legacy beautifully. I'm sure Tony is somewhere watching this and cracking that same subtle smile he does in that classic video from "An Intimate Lesson With Tony Rice." Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

      Trey thanks for the "hearted" reply... I've been listening to you since I heard you with Marty Stewart at the Grand Old Opry with Earl Scruggs. I've been pickin' since I was 13 also (back in 1960)... but I chose a different career other than music. I still play at home almost every day. R&B was my music of choice. Here's a version of the blues from my perspective I recorded this in Fort Worth about 15 years ago: ruclips.net/video/p1rIzqCTgXE/видео.html
