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 captivating collection blends the warmth of traditional Christmas carols with the innovative spirit of bluegrass, newgrass, and americana.

In just 36 minutes, Grisman and his ensemble weave a tapestry of festive favorites and lesser-known gems. The album opens with a haunting rendition of "What Child Is This?" and continues with a lively take on "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town." Grisman's unique interpretation of Respighi's "Ancient Aires and Dances" adds a touch of classical elegance to the collection. Classic songs like "The Christmas Song," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," and "Silent Night" are given a fresh, acoustic twist, while "Winter Wonderland" and "White Christmas" showcase the band's tight harmonies and instrumental prowess.

Grisman's masterful mandolin playing shines throughout, complemented by the skillful musicianship of his bandmates. The album's diverse repertoire, ranging from traditional carols to unexpected choices like "Auld Lang Syne," makes "Acoustic Christmas" a delightful and unique addition to any holiday music collection. Whether you're a longtime fan of David Grisman or new to his music, this album offers a joyful and spirited celebration of the season.

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

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.
