    Sorry if it was already mentioned, but Drive by Bela Fleck is an awesome instrumental bluegrass album that was released toward the end of Fleck's New Grass Revival career and before the Flecktones were formed. Just look at the lineup.

    Béla Fleck - banjo
    Tony Rice - guitar
    Sam Bush - mandolin
    Stuart Duncan - fiddle
    Mark O'Connor - fiddle
    Jerry Douglas - Dobro
    Mark Schatz - Bass

    Well, I have a lot of favorites that come in and out of rotation but currently I am getting a lot of mileage out of Don Stiernberg's "Swing 220". I never get tired of this one!

    These are great, all! Thanks again, so much. My office is awash with great instrumental-mandolin tunes!
    One that got recommended to by dasspunk, which is exceptional for great fiddle/mandolin fiddle tunes is his album Mrs. Maxwell. Very much worth checking out.

    Another firm favourite of mine is Ricky Skaggs ''Instrumentals''. Herschel Sizemore is one of the all time mandolin greats & his 2 newer CD's, ''B-Natural'' & ''My Style'' are worth buying as well.
    I recently found a CD by the late & very much missed,Butch Baldassari - "The Vespa Love Festival Sessions''. It's not Bluegrass,it's seems very latin-American influenced,but i find it incredible to listen to. The term ''easy listening' was coined for this CD - my best find in a loooooong time,

    I'll add another vote for Norman Blake's Natasha's Waltz. I can't stop listening to that record--just amazingly good.

    I second that.



    He was my FAVORITE F-5 player...Big Mon is my #2 Gibson player



    He also used an L and H, which means he played the 2 best American archtop mandolins ever.

    Another of my favorites:



    Italian String Virtuosi

    Various perfromances on mandolin and banjo

    These guys are right down my alley, 'The Brotet', I just wish they had more material:

    The Brotet - Grisman, Leslie, Hargreaves, & Smith

    No mandolin content, but these guys are really amazing acoustic musicians (fiddle, bass, piano) and one of my go to bands for music while working.

    http://www.orangemightytrio.com/OMT/Home.html

    Other mando-centric acoustic (though not necessarily old time) recommendations below.

    Norman and Nancy Blake / The Norman And Nancy Blake Compact Disk (also second the multiple suggestions for Natasha's Waltz)
    Skip Gorman / The Old Style Mandolin Volume I
    Grisman and Vignola / Frank and Dawg
    Danny Knicely / Roots & Branches

    What are your favorite instrumental albums that feature mandolin?
    Primarily looking for Old-Time, but open to all suggestions.

    Thanks!

    Hamilton de Holanda “Jacob Bossa” for updated virtuosic and sensitive renditions of Jacob do Bandolim favorites.

    And my favorite Don Stiernberg album is “Mandoboppin!”

    Strength in Numbers the “Telluride Sessions”, Mike Compton and David Grier “Climbing the Walls”, Reischman, Gilchrist, and Nygaard “Harmonic Tone Revealers”,
    Almost any of the Bela Fleck or David Grisman albums, and although I think it was previously mentioned the Album “Travelers” with John Reischman, Butch Baldassari, and Robin Bullock is fantastic! They cover a great variety of different genres.

    Also the incredible Grisman project “Tone Poets” is my all time go to easy night time listening album.

    Late to the party but no question Norman Blake and the Rising Fawn String Ensemble's "Original Music from the Mysterious South" the title and front cover alone put it on the charts, but it has been #1 for me since I first put the needle in the groove 20 some odd years ago.
    #2 would be David Grisman Quintet - the kaleidoscope album,
    #3 Tony Rice Acoustics
    Stormy Morning Orchestra

    For old time - the new Mike Compton & Norman Blake Gallop to Georgia is a real winner. Getting a lot of play at our place.

    Bob Douglas - who was the mandolin player in the Powdermilk Biscuit Band released a CD a few years ago. It's a combination of old time and Celtic. Very enjoyable.

    Traversata with Carlo Aonzo, Beppe Gambetta, & David Grisman is a big favorite of mine. It definitely appeals to my love of Italian Mandolin, plus it includes modern touches of Jazz & Dawg Mandolin playing. Very satisfying.
