Here’s more from the little band that included fledgling monster pickers Sam Bush and Tony Rice – The Bluegrass Alliance.

This, again, is from their 1972 show at Renfro Valley, and I think this is even better than the last cut I posted. Tony Rice is an absolute genius at vocal phrasing. There’s as much resignation as pain in his voice – what a complex, emotionally-truthful performance for someone so young!

The tune is “Whisper Your Name”.
