Today - June 8th - is Tony Rice's birthday. To celebrate, I'm reposting the chat I had with Alison Krauss as part of the 'Church Street Blues' 40th anniversary celebrations last year. The final episodes ended up being almost 5 hours long, so I thought it would be fun to re-post this as a standalone episode for those who missed it (or just want to listen again to celebrate Tony's birthday).

In this episode Alison talks about what Tony's music means to her and shares some memories of spending time one on one with Tony.

It was a wonderful conversation to get to have and I hope you enjoy it.

If you missed the Church Street Blues episodes, featuring Wyatt Rice, Bryan Sutton, Chris Eldridge and many more, you can listen here:
