Bare bones : the duo recordings

"The musical comradery between the Grateful Dead's central member Jerry Garcia and mandolin master David Grisman resulted not just in some of the Dead's most lasting Americana tunes but also a wealth of bluegrass, folk, and country-adjacent tangents and side projects. Garcia and Grisman's early-'70s group Old & In the Way was a traditional bluegrass counterpoint to the Dead's improvised rock style, and in subsequent decades, the friends recorded multiple duo albums of gentle acoustic folk ... Throughout the majority of this lengthy collection, there's a strong sense of relaxed happiness, with the familiarity between Garcia and Grisman guiding the proceedings".
