Alison Krauss & Tony Rice - Sawing on the Strings chords
Start Jamming...
of a lot of years for me and experience.
I mean, I played with Tony Rice, you know, 30 years ago.
And we've sort of grown up musically together
and made some records that I'm really proud of.
And they had a, you know, they had a big,
they made a big impression on Alison.
Tony Rice is my biggest influence.
He's just a very sensitive, thoughtful,
introspective person.
That's what I daydreamed about,
that person who sang those things.
He was my hero.
The first time I was ever starstruck was watching Tony.
And the standard of making records,
when I think about what I'd want one of my records
to be like, Tony is what comes to mind.
