Bitesize - Wyatt Rice on recording Church Street Blues with Tony Rice
This Bitesize episode features a conversation I had with Wyatt Rice for a set of episodes in 2023 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Tony Rice's 'Church Street Blues' album.
Wyatt talks about his experience of playing on the sessions aged just 17, hanging out with Tony, the first time he saw an Ovation guitar at Tony's house and the track from 'Church Street Blues' he ended up playing backup on, even though he'd never played it before the tape started running.
It was a really special interview to get to be a part of - I hoe you enjoy it.
Here are the links to the full Church Street Blues episodes:
- Part 1 - (inc. Tim Stafford, Wyatt, Alison Krauss, Bryan Sutton and Chris Eldridge
- Part 2 - (inc. Bob Minner, Jake Eddy, Justin Moses and Scott Nygaard)
Happy picking,
Matt
