Cool @tomic601. That Tony Rice Unit lineup did an earlier album, Still Inside, also on Rounder Records. Rounder was for years about the best label in the world imo, with an incredible roster of artists. NRBQ, one of my favorite bands when guitarist/songwriter/singer Al Anderson was a member, made a lot of albums that came on the label. Dave Edmunds, Nick Lowe, and Costello were all huge NRBQ fans.
I jammed with Tony Rice Unit bassist Todd Phillips last in 2012, I believe it was. He was playing his 18th Century German upright, so I know exactly what it's suppose to sound like when reproduced (assuming the recording engineer did his job well). More recently Todd has been on the road with Joan Baez.
Todd played a Fender Precision bass when we were kids in San Jose, and started going up to Marin in '71 to study mandolin with David Grisman (partly a result of the effect The Band's brown album had on all of us). Dave told him there were a lot of good mandolin players around, but a shortage of standup bass players (Dan Hicks had one in his band). Todd took Dave's advice, and ended up working with him!
