This interview is an extended version of the one that appeared in the first part of the Tony Rice Church Street Blues 40th anniversary celebration.

I talked to Wyatt for almost an hour and we covered some areas that weren't directly related to the Church Street Blues episode, but are fascinating as an insight into where Tony was around the time the album was recorded. Wyatt also shared some of his favourite memories of hanging out with Tony and making music together in the early 1980s, so I wanted to share the rest of it.

This is the first interview about Tony Wyatt has given since he passed. It was incredibly special to get to have this conversation and my thanks go to Wyatt for his generosity and warmth. I hope you enjoy this!
