Favorite acoustic album featuring mandolin?

[SternART]

Hard to beat that first David Grisman Quintet album. It is a classic that defined a new genre. It inspired a lot of us, from my generation, to started playing the mandolin.....and was much like Thile is today, for those coming up now.

Can't argue with that.

I may have to dig into the stacks and re-listen to a few before I could name a favorite mandolin featuring CD. Edgar Meyer has so many great collaborations (Thile, Marshall, Fleck....), Grisman is an icon. Thile's Bach and NAWWAL is a fantastic record too. eric Weissberg's Deliverance sowed the mandolin seed in my brain when I was a kid. Compton and Long's Stomp is great. I'll end with Statman's East Flatbush Blues. What he does on Uman feels sacred to me.

Uman is great on Andy Statman's album. So are a bunch of others on East Flatbush Blues. I think I'll take "17."

But after racking my memory, I guess I would have to say it was probably Planxty's first album. Great playing by Andy Irvine.

I should posted this. A life changing album for me. That and the Bothy Band's album "Old Hag You Have Killed Me".

Travellers - Butch Baldassari, Robin Bullock, and John Reischman. Terrific!!

David Grisman Mondo Mando. For now.

[Josh Levine]

I can't seem to stop spinning Goat Rodeo Sessions.

As far as bluegrass goes Appalachia Swing! is pretty amazing. Lots the Kitchen Tapes too.

On the more contemporary tip I love Greensky Bluegrass - Handguns. Oh and about a million other albums.

[Mike Pilgrim]

David Grisman Quintet (1977).

Changed my life.

[Dave Peters from the UK]

The Garcia Grisman " acoustic disc" album from 1999 has some fine pickin' on it I say, fine pickin'!

[Eddie Sheehy]

Marla Fibish and Jimmy Crowley - Morning Star

[ralph johansson]

Mike Marshall: Tasting the Wine Country; featuring Paul McCandless on soprano sax and double reeds.

[Wolfboy]

Too many to think of but three I keep going back to are Cantabile by Butch Baldassari and John Mock, Walk Along John by John Reischman, and the aforementioned The Morning Star by Marla Fibish and Jimmy Crowley. Always such a pleasure re-visiting any of those three.

Travellers - Butch Baldassari, Robin Bullock, and John Reischman. Terrific!!

Thanks! I rather like that one myself.

Skaggs and Rice and Dawg duos have been it for me

[John Radcliffe]

Andy Leftwich does some tasty picking on one of Dailey and Vincent's albums (the title of which escapes me right now).

[mandroid]

The Mando Boys Quartet .. 2 of them + a Mandola And Mandocello..

Red House records.
