Curated by David Grisman, Bare Bones is a collection of duo performances honoring the magic and exploring the foundation of Grisman and Garcia's studio works together. The compilation presents 51 tracks captured during the duo's intimate sessions at Grisman's home studio. It includes original, unembellished master recordings, alternate takes, and the first performances of classic tunes the duo recorded.
Volume I includes seven master takes released on Garcia/Grisman, Shady Grove, and Been All Around This World. The remaining 12 tracks, mostly from Not For Kids Only, were recorded as duos but were embellished with various instrumentation and are presented herein for the first time in their original unadorned state.
Volume II is comprised of unreleased original recorded versions of tunes that became staples of the Garcia/Grisman repertoire - "Grateful Dawg," Dawg's Waltz," and "Arabia." Also included are duo versions of other songs all subsequently arranged with bassist Jim Kerwin and multi-instrumentalist, Joe Craven -- "Two Soldiers," "Take Me," and the perennial Grateful Dead favorite, "Friend of the Devil."
Volume III assembles 16 alternate takes of duo recordings from their discography. Free from deadlines and full of inspiration, Jerry and David would often revisit songs across multiple sessions. While only one take could make the cut for any given album, these alternate takes showcase the duo's immense creativity and lust for new possibilities. As Dawg says in the closing liner notes, "...these recordings can be heard from a more historical (or should I say hysterical) perspective."

Scott CashmanJanuary 3, 2025You don't need me to tell you about the quality of the playing on this release. It is really great to hear a laugh and comment here and there. The quality of the recordings are superior. Playing it on a good system made me feel like I was in the room with them. If you don't already have this, get it now! If you do, play it again!!
-
RIchard GorlewskiJanuary 1, 2025This is an excellent collection of Jarry and David. It captures them at their best in a natural relaxed recording environment. It's almost as if Jerry and David are in the same room with you, kicking back and playing their favorite tunes. It's relaxed and natural, the way real music should be. Thank you so much for capturing these magical moments and sharing them with us.
-
Chris Ernest HallJanuary 1, 2025Although many of these tracks were previously released in altered forms, the improved sound quality and removal of extraneous instrumentation, especially on the kids songs, make this an essential addition to the Garcia/Grisman canon.

NEDecember 29, 2024A fine set, by both artists... From the blues to the sea shanties, it's what had made the G&G records so enjoyable... Hearing a few tunes that were never released is always a treat...I hope the well isn't entirely dry, as I look forward to each release from Acoustic Disc...
