In 1981, David Grisman recorded the second of four studio albums for Warner Brothers Records.
The mandolinist performs seven colorful originals (including “Dawg Funk”), plus Django Reinhardt’s lesser-known “Anouman” with various string players, including Mike Marshall on mandolin, violinists Darol Anger and Mark O’Connor, guitarist Tony Rice, and bassist Rob Wasserman; the Kronos String Quartet helps out on “Mando Mando.”
The original LP have long been out of print and this Deluxe Edition presents all of the original master takes plus an alternate studio take of “Albuquerque Turkey” featuring Mark O’Connor fiddling seven choruses, as well as live versions of “Dawg Funk” and “Mondo Mando,” with mandolin jazz master Jethro Burns and the Kronos Quartet.
