Yes, I've known about the Tony Rice album for awhile and when I get some extra cash, I am going to get that one. I wanted to emphasize the point that I think he did a good job overall. There was one in particular though, and I can't remember which song it was, that I wasn't too happy with.

You seem to know a bit more about music than I do, so maybe it is my ignorance about Early Morning Rain. I guess the way I view the versions by Ian & Sylvia and PPM and others is that I just find no use in listening to them. They all sing very well, PPM's ability as a group is undisputed, but since I prefer to hear Gord's arrangement, I just don't care to listen to the others.

What about Anne Murray's version of Cotton Jenny? She has a fabulous voice and I think she performs the song well.
