Description
“Recorded from 1990 to 1993, Shady Grove captures Garcia and Grisman — whose friendship and passion for traditional folk and country music went back three decades — in relaxed, intimate form, roaming through their old records and public-domain songbooks, playing the unplugged hits of their, and America's, youth. The picking is immaculate; Garcia's singing is shaky in that gentle, endearing way that was unmistakably his; and the tunes — hardy old ballads and barn-dance kickers going back to the Civil War and beyond — underscore the truly deathless beauty and virtue of Garcia's life's work.” – David Fricke, for Rolling Stone
