He established the gold standard for both lead and rhythm playing, merging a deep appreciation for tradition with impactful innovation.r His untimely passing on Christmas day, 2020 affords a review of his magnificent catalog, and this gem from his earliest days is both a fond, revealing look back and a roadmap for what lay ahead during a formative period for the legendary guitarist and singer. California Autumn was Tony's first serious solo record, produced by the Seldom Scene's John Starling and mixed by the legendary George Massenberg. It was momentous for several reasons. It was the occasion of the initial meeting and first recordings of two of the brightest lights of Bluegrass's new generation: Tony and Ricky Skaggs; and it marked the first of Tony's many legendary recordings with a young Jerry Douglas.

It includes liner notes penned by Blue Highway front man and noted Tony Rice authority Tim Stafford and contains a number of never-before-seen photos of Tony from his earliest days as a professional musician.
