CD Description
Longtime friends Jerry Garcia and David Grisman spent much of the early '90s working together on acoustic recordings offolk, country and bluegrass tunes. After Garcia's death in 1995, Grisman decided to begin releasing the prodigious backlog of music the two had accumulated, with each release covering a different genre of American music. The first, SHADY GROVE, concentrates on the folk and bluegrass that was one oftheir first musical loves.
This music is rich in history, encompassing everything from an Appalachian folk song (thetitle tune) to a Civil War ballad ("The Sweet Sunny South"). Garcia's warm, weathered vocals are handily supported by his and Grisman's nimble picking (on guitar, mandolin, banjo and other stringed things), and by such Grisman regulars as bassist Jim Kerwin and fiddler/percussionist Joe Craven. Exhaustively annotated, the booklet gives a full history of each song that will be invaluable to both serious students and casual listeners.

good stuff
I would say it's the best album of it's kind. beautiful songs beautifully played and sung. It sounds like it was a joy to make.
