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...

Don't misunderstand - the album is great, which is why I purchased it. However, it is clearly one of Amazon's burn-on-demand CDs, and was not advertised as such. So, it doesn't work in some players. Frankly, if I wanted a burned copy, I would have burned a copy and not paid Amazon full price for the privilege. Let the buyer beware!

If you like hot picking and killer harmonies do not miss.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blake & Rice 2 (Audio CD)
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.

Blake & Rice 2,
By Lois Lambert (Ekalaka, MT, US) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Blake & Rice 2 (Audio CD)
The sounds on this CD are wonderful if you like guitar and/or banjo music. My husband and I like both, and he plays the guitar. It is one of our favorite CDs to listen to.

A real "Must Have" CD,
This review is from: Blake & Rice 2 (MP3 Download)
Great songs, great singing, great playing...great mix of straight-out bluegrass picking with more "folk song" type singing to change it up. If you like acoustic music, this is a "must hear" and once you've heard it it will turn into a "must own."

Strong and clean first disk had better choice of material,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blake & Rice 2 (Audio CD)
Both pickers are, arguably, the best with their craft; you can hear it on this disk Recorded in full DDD makes this, as the first disk, an exceptional experience. I could have thought of 100 better songs to record.
