Tony Rice's 1982 masterpiece, Backwaters, emerges as a bluegrass gem redefined. Known for his impeccable guitar playing, Rice, alongside the Tony Rice Unit, dives into a sea where the strings of jazz, country and new wave intertwine.

A quintessentially '80s adventure, Backwaters pushes the boundaries with its entirely instrumental narrative, straying from typical bluegrass norms. Rice's performer-style rendition of "My Favorite Things" gives a fresh, string-filled perspective to the classic while adding original flavors to the tapestry. Each track is a journey where bluegrass meets jazz virtuosity, guided effortlessly by Rice's hands.

This re-release presents a freshly remastered experience of an often-overlooked slice of the '80s, echoing the decade's signature freedom and exploration. When Unit weaves through this album, it's not just music, it's a meeting of genres leading to a new frontier of listening. For adventurous listeners, each note strikes both nostalgia and novelty.

Pressed on elegant 180-gram black vinyl, this high-fidelity masterpiece is a must-have for connoisseurs. Through this robust pressing, the lush soundscapes created by Rice and his ensemble can be savored in their most beautiful form, echoing the past while resonating timelessly. Immerse yourself in this slice of musical exploration and collectible charm – it's a journey well worth your aural exploration.
