Tony Rice

Grounded in her roots as a native Virginian, bluegrass trailblazer Rebecca Frazier found herself reawakening to a whole new journey of inspiration and invention. For the flatpicking luminary, who achieved notoriety in the music world as the first woman ever to appear on the cover of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine, that creative rebirth turned into her most captivating work yet: BOARDING WINDOWS IN PARADISE. Like generations of her ancestors who have lived along Virginia's coast, she, too, has weathered life's hurricanes and battering winds - and witnessed it's luminous beauty - and she wanted to capture that juxtaposition on this record.

This unique project features previously unissued bluegrass studio performances by David “Dawg” Grisman with legendary friends, colleagues and heroes — Vassar Clements, Red Allen, Del McCoury, John Hartford, Herb Pedersen and the Nashville Bluegrass Band, to name a few. Highlights of this collection from the Dawg Archives are several tracks featuring Tony Rice singing with Earl Scruggs picking his iconic banjo and Jerry Garcia and Ralph Stanley rendering the classic “Man of Constant Sorrow.” Mastered in the sonically superior Hi-Definition (24-bit, 96kHz), this is a must have collection for every serious lover of traditional bluegrass music.
