Plenty of great suggestions here but I agree with Markus, that Adam Tanner "State of Grace" album is one my favorites.
David Benedict: Into the True Country
Robin Bullock: The Enchanted Woods
Listened to Reischman's "Up in the Woods" again yesterday. Such a great album.
Kentucky Colonels - Appalachian Swing!
Someone told about Grappelli and Grisman's live album which is high in my rating but the one that I would put on the top is the first Grisman Quintet's album.
Mark O'Connor: 30 Year Retrospective, Chris Thile on mandolin.
Grant Gordy, untitled album, Dominick Leslie on mando.
Hamilton de Holanda: o Baile do Almeidinha
Mike Marshall (mando and guit): Tasting the Wine Country (starring Paul McCandless, double reeds and soprano saxophone)
Dave Gross: Mandology (w Olli Soikkeli, g, and Rob Hecht, violin on 5-6 cuts)
Nordic: Metropol, Magnus Zetterlund on mando.
A few faves of mine, some that have been mentioned and some that haven’t:
Anything by Butch Baldassari (RIP), especially Cantabile, Music of O’Carolan, Appalachian Mandolin and Dulcimer, and Evergreen
Anything by John Reischman, especially Walk Along John and The Singing Moon
(Thanks to everybody who voted for Travellers!) 😊
Marla Fibish and Jimmy Crowley: The Morning Star
David Surrette: The Green Mandolin
Norman Blake: Original Underground Music from the Mysterious South
Chris Thile, Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer: Bach Trios
Mike Compton and Norman Blake: Gallop to Georgia
Bela Fleck: Drive (the one and only Sam Bush on mandolin)
Fun to swing back around to this topic and to see some new (to me) suggestions:
ralph j mentioned this one: Dave Gross: Mandology (w Olli Soikkeli, g, and Rob Hecht, violin on 5-6 cuts)
Good one - Dave hosted a Saturday A.M. bg radio show on WFDU, titled Music America, in the early 80's. I have literally dozens of cassette tapes from that show, he would open it with the tune Farmyard Swing, off a Kenny Baker record, with the quirky and great mando solo by Bobby Osborne.
Some newer listens:
Dave Peters - Dawgfinger
Wyatt Rice - New Market Gap. Terrific mandolin solos on all tunes, by Ray Legere.
Alan Bibey and Wayne Benson - Mandolin Chronicles.
Lost & Found - Just Pickin', with the late, great Dempsey Young.
I agree but it was originally titled Original Underground Music from the Mysterious South. When it was released as a CD they added a couple Nancy Blake sons and re titled it. It is beautiful I saw that group twice at the Birchmere when they was touring for this album. An entire evening of Norman Blake on Mandolin.
Norman Blake - Original Underground Music from the Mysterious South.
Andy Statman - Flatbush Waltz
Chris Thile- All those who wander are not lost
Dve Appalon-Mandolin Virtuoso
Jacob do Bandolin- Origional Classic recordings Vol. 1
Great stuff on here. Thanks for the recommendations. I love Alan Bibey and Wayne Benson - Mandolin Chronicles. I'm a sucker for dueling mandos.
