Search - Mike Compton & David Grier :: Climbing the Walls

Guitarist Grier and former Nashville Bluegrass Band mandolinist Compton, two of bluegrass music's most gifted and adept players, perform a sparkling set of traditional and original instrumentals, supported by Blaine Sprouse, Roy Huskey, Jr. and a host of Nashville's finest. "On first hearing, it sounds like the boys were sitting around picking and the mikes happened to be on. Casual? Maybe, maybe not. On the second spin you hear David slithering down the guitar with Mike nailing exact rhythmic unison. Other examples of this sort of off-handed intricacy abound." --from Tony Trischka's liner notes
