Notes: 25 years ago the David Grisman Quintet's first album revolutionized the world of acoustic string music and inspired a new generation of musicians. Now the David Grisman Quintet brings their imaginative blend of acoustic "dawg music" into the 21st Century with the genre-bending brilliance of Dawgnation. Opening with the powerful show-stopper "Slade" (dedicated to the late Charles Sawtelle), the DGQ is a lean and mean greyhound machine, putting all their musical expertise, passion and road-tested diligence into extreme focus.
From there the pace elegantly weaves a groove into the upbeat rock-samba "Mellow Mang," the Latin-laced "Cha Cha Chihuahua," the bluegrass-tinged "Twin Town," the dawg anthem title track from the Garcia-Grisman repertoire,the sly swing of the "Dawg After Dark," and seven other new Grisman originals.
Dawgnation celebrates the enduring quality of this longstanding Quintet. Bassist Jim Kerwin, multi-instrumentalist Joe Craven, flutist Matt Eakle and guitarist Enrique Coria each pair up with mandolin maestro Dawg in a series of duets showcasing their individual styles. ~ Acoustic Disc

Notes: The newest release from David Grisman’s Acoustic Disc label is a duo project featuring he and John Sebastian. Entitled Satisfied, it features these two on acoustic guitar, mandolin family instruments and harmonica on a mixed set of songs and tunes. The 14 selections are taken from the repertoire of blues, folk and traditional music, plus a couple of Dawg tunes and a few from the great American songbook of show music.
This is by no means a bluegrass recording (obligatory disclaimer), but fans of the music of these two genre-defining acoustic artists are sure to be satisfied with the result. My own bias towards this project comes from the twin facts that I was a huge Lovin’ Spoonful fan as a young boy in the 60’s, and the impact that Grisman’s first Quintet album had on me as a young student of bluegrass and acoustic music in 1977.
The Spoonful was a pop sensation at the time, with Sebastian front and center, the group’s name having come from a Mississippi John Hurt song, Coffee Blues, which is included here. Grisman, of course, charted new territory with his Dawg music, but has always betrayed the heart and soul of bluegrass in everything he has done.
John Sebastian and David GrismanOne of the great treats upon opening the CD case was finding photos of both Sebastian and Grisman from their “early days” not long after they met as students at New York University in the early 1960s. Grisman was deep into a study of bluegrass at the time while Sebastian was immersed in Delta blues, but the two became friends and even performed together as members of The Even Dozen Jug Band.
Though their careers went in different directions after college, they found themselves performing an impromptu duo set at a concert in 2005, an event that led directly to this new collaboration.
The tracks were cut a la Grisman’s Acoustic Disc formula – meaning everything was recorded live in the studio, sans overdubs. There is a very raw, and ultimately satisfying appeal to this CD, and this may be a big part of it. ~ from The Bluegrass Blog, John Lawless (10.31.07)

Notes: “I've had a musical love affair with bluegrass music for over 50 years now,” David Grisman told me during a recent interview. “I also have my own concept of what bluegrass music is, and perhaps what people now refer to as that particular genre may be completely different than my definition, which would be the music created by Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, Chubby Wise and other "first generation" musicians — the Stanley Brothers, Reno & Smiley, Jim & Jesse, Jimmy Martin and the Osborne Brothers.”
Nevertheless, the legendary mandolin player has some reservations about how the genre seems to have strayed from its seminal style. “Recordings, live performances, and the ever evolving exposure process (from television to the internet) has certainly attracted more listeners, but what are they really listening to? Not ‘Molly and Tenbrooks’ by Bill Monroe or ‘Little Glass of Wine’ by the Stanley Brothers or ‘Someday We'll Meet Again Sweetheart’ by Flatt & Scruggs or countless other bluegrass masterpieces from the ‘golden era’ I'm afraid.”
Not surprisingly, Grisman is a purist when it comes to his particular passion. “Bluegrass is a perfect blend of many influences and innovations, which should be extremely appealing to any music lover,” he suggests. “Instrumentally you have the amazing 5-string banjo style of Earl Scruggs, combined with several unique approaches to mandolin playing developed by Bill Monroe, Bobby Osborne and Jesse McReynolds, plus the smooth bluesy fiddling of Chubby Wise and Vassar Clements, as well as numerous approaches to vocal harmonies which evolved from the Carter Family, the Monroe Brothers and others to the classic bluegrass artists of the first, second and even third generation. Then you have the songs themselves, many of which are grounded in the traditional folk music of England, Ireland and Scotland. Add a bit of swing, blues and country and you have a pretty heady musical brew.”
Grisman’s touting a forthcoming release recording from the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience), entitled Muddy Roads - Old-time Music of Clarence Ashley & Doc Watson, as well as a deluxe remastered edition of Doc & Dawg with many alternate previously-unissued tracks and a live recording from his archives, Doc & Dawg - Live in Watsonville (California.) In October, Grisman will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Old & in the Way with the complete Boarding House Tapes, from which all three of the band’s original releases were extracted. These albums and others can be found at AcousticOasis.com.

Notes: The Even Dozen Jug Band was founded in 1963 by the great country blues and ragtime guitarists Stephan Grossman and Peter Siegel in New York City. An old timey super-group of sorts, its members included John Sebastian (who later formed the Lovin' Spoonful), mandolinist extraordinaire David Grisman, guitarist Steve Katz (later with Blues Project and Blood, Sweat and Tears), vocalist Maria D'Amato (who later became singing star Maria Muldaur), and famed American musicologist and pianist Joshua Rifkin. The band was short lived and in 1964 released their only album, the highly influential "Jug Band Songs Of The Southern Mountains". The group made numerous appearances on television and performed at the famed Carnegie Hall in New York City. All selections newly remastered. ~ amazon
