Yup… @jw11,
Probably a bad credit given there by me… but here’s why…
On Spotify, they have a playlist called Picker’s Primer: Mandolin.
There is a tune in this list called New Chance Blues with a credit to Tony Rice and Norman Blake.
Now, as this track was included on a Mandolin Primer… I just presumed the featured artist would be named first… and Tony’s name does appear first.
Since many Guitarists can play Mandolin also, I did presume that Tony was therefore the featured artist… even though there is Guitar on the track with the Mandolin. Admittedly, I am not unfamiliar with Mr. Blake’s abilities.
All I know is… whomever played Mandolin on that track played awesome.
Now, upon closer look, I now noticed it does say the group was Blake & Rice. Interesting… as the plot thickens…
So, because of your comment, I went straight to the Absolute Authority… Wikipedia!
As you already seemed to know… Mr. Rice is listed for Guitar only… whereas, Mr. Blake is listed for Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin and several other instruments… a true multi-instrumentalist!
There you have it.
My bad… so thanks for the e-du-ma-kay-shun!
