Product Description

Deadheads and Dawgheads both loved this Grammy nominee, which explores every corner of American music-from Irving Berlin's "Russian Lullaby" to B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone." The first all-acoustic recording of Jerry's long career also includes "Friend of the Devil," "Rockin' Chair," "Two Soldiers," "Walkin' Boss" and more! Acoustic Disc. In 1986, Jerry Garcia spiritually revived the Grateful Dead and also rekindled his love for acoustic music. In 1989 he recorded Almost Acoustic with his 1960s Palo Alto folkie pals and began collaborating with his longtime friend and mandolin master David Grisman. This 1991 set offers a brilliant assortment of acoustic music that ranges from bluegrass-inspired stomps to B.B. King covers, age-old folk songs, standards by Irving Berlin and Hoagy Carmichael, and an exotic album-ending modal-jazz journey. The playing is stellar throughout, but the mood is warm and welcoming as well.

After nearly dying in 1986, Jerry Garcia not only spiritually revived the Grateful Dead but also rekindled his love for acoustic music. To that end, in 1989 he recorded Almost Acoustic with his 1960s Palo Alto folkie pals and also began collaborating with his longtime friend and mandolin master David Grisman. This 1991 set offers a brilliant assortment of acoustic music that ranges from bluegrass-inspired stomps to B.B. King covers, age-old folk songs, standards by Irving Berlin and Hoagy Carmichael, and an exotic album-ending modal-jazz journey. The playing is stellar throughout, but the mood is warm and welcoming as well. --Marc Greilsamer
