Same album where I first heard Mr. Rice in 1978. Not sure I’d call it bluegrass, but it’s fantastic music by any name. That album is one of two or three that I own on vinyl, cassette, CD, and MP3. It’s one I play regularly, and I’m going to listen to it again today.

Have everything he ever recorded, and a whole catalogue of live performance— been a marathon playback of hours of great music. He was a musician, and a great singer in the genre. As a result he was close to Alison Krauss who mentored him and he her as well. This is sad to lose him, for he still had much to contribute.

Perhaps you’d like this duet with the great jazz guitarist and one of his teachers— the great John Carlini:

In 1978, I think they were calling it "newgrass."
