Desert Island Disc!

"This and the first Blake and Rice are two of the all time best flatpickin' albums ever recorded. Tony's sense of improvisation is the perfect foil to Norman's intricate and classic playing. The addition of Doc Watson on several cuts ices the cake. The production sets the standard for recordings of acoustic instruments. If you like flatpicked acoustic guitars, this cd is a must!"
If you like hot picking and killer harmonies do not miss.

"This album has everything. They mix it up to follow the "pick one, sing one" formula. Tony and Norm are joined by Doc Watson on awesome renditions of Salt Creek, Blackberry Blossom, and Lost Indian. On the songs, Tony and Norm sing really tight harmonies together, and the whole album is chock full of great licks. I highly recommend this album to any Blake and Rice fans, and especially to any flatpickers."
