Thanks, I've been wanting to hear Alison do "You Don't Know Me". Also fun to hear her do a disco classic, for a second I thought she was gonna twerk, lol! I think all her one-off performances should be professionally recorded, as these were. It's a shame there's just a smartphone video of her doing "Neverland" a few years ago Tony Rice recently offered warm well wishes for Alison when receiving his IBMA award recently: But the evening’s undisputed magical moment belonged to another North Carolinian. Iconic guitarist and vocalist Tony Rice, who lives in Rockingham County, was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame with a humorous but reverent speech from collaborators Peter Rowan and Sam Bush. Accepting the honor, Rice—who hasn’t sung in nearly 20 years due to damaged vocal cords—graciously accepted, then spoke about singer Alison Krauss, who had been scheduled to perform Friday night before being diagnosed with dysphonia, a vocal condition.
After some hesitance, Rice—who had been speaking in his characteristic rasp—summoned the ability to talk in what he referred to as his “normal speaking voice” to provide some encouragement to Krauss, moving many in the audience to their feet in an inspiring moment that was referenced in nearly every acceptance speech and conversation that followed. The Manzanita Band—including Rice and his brother Wyatt along with Ricky Skaggs, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas and other all-stars—capped the magic with a special performance. It was an unforgettable moment.Skip ahead to the 10:55 mark for his remarks about Alison:
