Very nice.
The solo mandolin version of "Uncle John's Band" sounds very good!
Can't wait to hear the more bluesy stuff such as "New Speedway Boogie"...
BTW: The last three songs are on Working Man's Dead's follow-up LP American Beauty, which was my first exposure to folk mandolin playing with David Grisman featured on "Ripple" and "Friend of the Devil".
The playing sounds very good but I wish the folks that did the cover could have used a better mandolin to represent Davids work. Far too often I see ads and cover that depict total crap instruments that are supposed to represent the product. This mandolin has a plywood (sunken) top and a bridge that has a serious sway back.

A bunch of stuff with four strings
I met David back in 2013 when he was working with Phil Madeira. I asked him if he ever did any mandolin recordings. Glad to see he finally has.
He's been on my music list since the soundtrack for "Heaven's Gate" - i have the mandolin tabs for "Heaven's Gate Waltz" and wish I had more of the music in tabs.
Listening to this, it sounds like he played a couple mandolins - anyone know which makes?
Nicely done on "Uncle John's Band"! Looking forward to hearing the rest of this iconic album.
I purchased yesterday from Amazon. Have listened to it several times now.
Finally someone doing what I have heard in my head for years! Great arrangements! Off to purchase. If your a deadhead, and play mandolin, this is a must.
