One of the great songs sung by Tony and his band ATT. R,I,P, Tony Rice

[@joepeach2315]

A classic. Maybe the best rendition ever...…..

[@NoWoke928]

Tony rice is the best singer of the world i play albums over and over my favoret

[@bassicallysquirled]

Country OutgoingBoy you sir are correct. Great singer as well as best Picker of all time.

[@browill9]

R.I.P Brother . You will be missed.

[@frederickboyce9693]

Probably the very best example of a banjo player backing up a vocalist ever by J.D. Crowe, not to mention a great break in open F.

[@scottmcandrew9642]

The Tony Rice and Norman Blake collaboration has to be my favorite bluegrass album

[@scottbeagles]

Does anyone have the rendition done by Doc Watson,Ricky Skaggs,Alison Krauss,Lester Flatt. It is the best rendition I have heard. Can't locate it.

[@kalalothar]

Your list of names is almost right,except ....it's "Earl Scruggs" instead of Lester Flatt ... taken from the "Three Pickers " in about 2008 or 2009 kzbin.info/www/bejne/npbcoXmtbdihqpo

Makes me think of a woman I knew 25 years ago in Fairbanks AK .... she sang this song so well.. and played guitar ... Sure would like to see her again ...

[@AJHash1]

[@mac31694]

primera vez que lo oigo me parece muy bueno

[@Quarton]

+miguelangel capote ¿Entiende las letras de la canción?

[@mac31694]

[@Quarton]

No hay problema. :-) Me dió risa como suena tan linda, pero se trata de homicidio!

[@mac31694]

imagínate tu

[@VaclavKrcek-ix2yz]

Old murder And nice song..

[@gurlsingerfan]

maybe they're against solving unrequited love with murder? Great song, dark subject matter.

[@wf761fw]

So dark.

[@jamesanthony8438]

Hey, it's Bluegrass. That genre has _the most_ cheerful murder songs. =)

[@corbinfloyd9467]

What album is this?

[@jamesanthony8438]

It's from his self-titled album, "Tony Rice" from Rounder Records released in 1977

[@richardperkins5046]

How old was he when that picture was taken?

[@tonydardi332]

Richard Perkins I think he was 11.

[@theinfamouscletusherringbo8134]

Release Date:1977, Born: June 8, 1951, He was 26 years old.

@@theinfamouscletusherringbo8134 Thank you.

[@wupeide]

Is this a song about brutal murder?

[@rebeccamouse9294]

Yes it is. It is part of a genre of murder ballads that is hundreds of years old and dates back to songs sung at public executions of murderers in England to tell the story of why the person was being executed. Minstrels were paid to sing them.

@@rebeccamouse9294where’d you learn this?

[@rebeccamouse9294]

@@Santiago_Fernandez I went down a rabbit hole one night and found someone’s dissertation about it

[@scottmcandrew9642]

@rebeccamouse9294. I hear that those rabbit holes can be kind of sketchy. I’ve heard tell that there might be DMT fairy’s in them. And there is no telling what kind of crazy nonsense a person might come to believe 🧚‍♀️ once they have encountered one

[@jones616]

Love the voice, but this is not an upbeat tune imo.
