2017 release. An exuberant meeting of the musical minds and souls,
Pickin', with 10 Dawg compositions (five of which are newly written) is
just the beginning of what promises to be an important, long-awaited and
historic musical friendship. Tommy Emmanuel and David Grisman had
admired each other's music for years but their paths had never crossed.
That changed in January, 2014 when their mutual friend, the brilliant
Scottish guitarist Martin Taylor, invited David to sit in at his concert
with the world-renowned, Tommy Emmanuel. Going forward to 2016, Tommy
invited David to participate in a recording project of his in Nashville,
whereupon he asked him to teach him some "Dawg" tunes. Within the hour,
they had recorded five of David's tunes and the seeds of this recording
were sown. An exuberant meeting of the musical minds and souls,
Pickin', with 10 Dawg compositions is just the beginning of what
promises to be an important, longawaited and historic musical
friendship.
