• New Deluxe Digital Editions of Acoustic Disc Dawg Classics Released

    David Grisman's Acoustic Christmas and Not For Kids Only by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman

    PORT TOWNSEND, WASH. — Acoustic Disc proudly announces the digital only release of new Deluxe Editions of two dawg favorites — David Grisman's Acoustic Christmas and Not For Kids Only by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman.

    David Grisman's Acoustic Christmas was originally released on LP in 1983 and became an instant acoustic classic. It features stellar playing by the Dawg himself and musical cohorts, Darol Anger, Bela Fleck, Mike Marshall, Martin Taylor and others. Seasonal favorites are arranged in styles ranging from medieval ("What Child Is This?" and "Good King Wenceslas") to bluegrass ("Auld Lang Syne") and jazz ("Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and "The Christmas Song"). There's even a cameo appearance by Clarence Nash (the voice of Donald Duck) singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" accompanied by Grisman's solo mandolin. This new Deluxe Edition features four bonus tracks featuring Dawg and members of his quintet.

    Not For Kids Only, the 1993 Acoustic Disc release by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman, is another highly acclaimed favorite, "recommended for anyone who is, or ever was, a kid." This Deluxe Edition includes the original 12 tunes plus four previously unreleased alternate duo versions of "Jenny Jenkins," "Three Men Went A-Hunting," "Teddy Bear's Picnic" and "There Ain't No Bugs On Me."

      A note to let everyone know we've added two new songs, replacing the original two that were here and will be doing it again (adding different tracks) soon. Enjoy!
