I've had this song playing in my head for at least a week now. Just heard that TR passed away suddenly at home on Christmas morning. I hope his beautiful song plays on forever. RIP💔
Many happy evenings at the Down Home listening to the Tony Rice Unit. Saw them several times at the Down Home and other places in the region. I'm a devoted fan..
Tony liberated me and my music. I was a "folkie" who loves bluegrass music too and when I heard the first New South Album I knew there was a place for my music to live too.
Tony did a lot to introduce bluegrass fans down South... to the music and songs of one of our greatest Canadian songwriters: The one and only Gordon Lightfoot. And this is a good example of how well he interpreted his songs.
It is truly rare to find an artist and song to blend into such as this does. Great writher Gordon Lightfoot and Tony Rice were ment for each other. Mother music has bless us with union.
Well done !!! This is now my second favourite version of Lightfoot's song. (Gord's original version with Red Shea, and John Stockfish still rules) Belefonte, McLaughlin, and the rest of the pack have their place too. Cheers.
The mastery of Tony Rice playing the genius poet of Gordon Lightfoot!
Tony Rice excelled in doing Gordon Lightfoot songs, like the tribute of one master to another.
Tony Rice is the best friend a great song ever had.
Perfect description Jeff. Tony particularly was able to take Gordon's great songs to another level still keeping the heart of it.

I totally fell in love with this song when I heard Tony first play it...Lightfoot is good, but Tony's unique guitar is awesome..RIP TR..
@@cornstorm666 Lightfoot composed it - the melody line, the lyrics, the orchestration - and sang it. Tony is a good guitarist.
@@wandamundy1759 …Correction…Tony Rice was a once in a lifetime iconic great guitarist.
Tony played Bridgeport, Ct a while back during an ice storm. He closed with this after thanking everyone for risking coming out.
So sad that both Tony Rice and Gordon Lightfoot have passed..what a legacy they have left us.❤☮

I'm sure we've been n the same room many times, Susan.
Such a great venue for sure, very special to see him in the Down Home.
does it ever get any better than this? In case you are still wondering, the answer is no.
AND STILL
Rest in peace. Never heard of you before your untimely passing- but you are mourned by millions.
Now you can hear a true maestro's voice and guitar ☮❤
You have a great deal of enjoyment and amazement ahead of you!
With the exception of Gordon Lightfoot, no one can do this song better than Tony!
Tony does a nice rendition of Gordy's song. The mandolin sounds beautiful in this rendition too.
