David Grisman returns to his musical roots with this Grammy-nominated two-disc set. An all- star lineup of Grisman friends and ex-bandmates perform traditional tunes as well as classics composed by the Carter family, the Stanley Brothers, Bill Monroe, and Merle Travis. Whether you think Grisman's usual brand of acoustic experimentation (i.e., "dawg" music) is groundbreaking or just noodly and self-indulgent, he's nothing short of superb as a bluegrass mandolinist. Home Is Where the Heart Is is Grisman's valentine to the music that launched his career--and with the likes of Doc Watson, Del McCoury, Ricky Skaggs, J.D. Crowe, Sam Bush, and Tony Rice backing him up, this is one love letter that packs a hefty musical punch.
