Dawg &'T' Live at Acoustic Stage

Released

Mandolinist David Grisman and guitarist Tony Rice came out of the progressive bluegrass scene of the 1970s and, together, basically built the foundation of what would come to be called New Acoustic Music in the 1980s (which amounted, effectively, to jazz played on bluegrass instruments). Recorded live in 2017, this set documents a duo performance that showcases not only the pair’s mighty stylistic range but also Rice’s phenomenal rhythm playing — an often overlooked aspect of his talent.
