Product description

David Grisman, the renowned mandolin virtuoso and pioneer of the newgrass movement, invites you to celebrate the holiday season with his enchanting album "Acoustic Christmas." Released on January 1, 1983, under the Rounder label, this delightful collection blends traditional Christmas carols with Grisman's signature bluegrass and newgrass styles, creating a unique and festive listening experience.

Spanning just 36 minutes, the album features a mix of well-known holiday classics and lesser-known gems, all reimagined with Grisman's distinctive acoustic touch. From the hauntingly beautiful "What Child Is This?" to the lively rendition of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas," each track showcases Grisman's exceptional musicianship and his ability to infuse new life into familiar tunes.

The album also includes a unique interpretation of Respighi's "Ancient Aires and Dances," adding a touch of classical elegance to the festive mix. Grisman's rendition of "Auld Lang Syne" brings the celebration to a close, offering a warm and nostalgic send-off as the year draws to an end.

"Acoustic Christmas" is a testament to David Grisman's versatility and his deep love for acoustic music. Whether you're a longtime fan of bluegrass or simply looking for a fresh take on holiday classics, this album is sure to become a cherished part of your seasonal playlist. So, gather your loved ones, pour some eggnog, and let the soothing sounds of David Grisman's "Acoustic Christmas" fill your home with holiday cheer.

This LP was released in 1983.

The audio quality of this is absolutely amazing. It's like you're not just 'in the room', but your head is 'right next to' the instruments.
Acoustic Christmas Delight
5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely adore this Christmas album, which is also one of my all-time favorite albums. The rich acoustic sounds make it stand out and it truly sounds amazing, just like David Grisman's other releases, especially the later ones on his acoustic disc label. You can still get it from his website. When I last ordered, they had leftover copies from 1980. If you're into acoustic music, David Grisman, or unique Christmas albums, it's hard to see how you wouldn't love this one. My copy sounds great, is in good condition, and has just a few minor ticks and pops after cleaning.
