When we last left our hero, he had blazed new trails and explored heretofore uncharted territory with his CD, "Mandolin Magic". Here, now, is a collection of his further adventures on the mandolin frontier, chronicles of a champion of the plucked string and the art of musical transcription.

What sounds like a small choir of mandolins playing bass lines, chordal accompaniment, and tremolo melodies is in fact nothing except Evan Marshall all by himself. Which would not mean much in this Age of the Overdub except for one astounding fact: Marshall plays all this music live, at once, on one mandolin, with no overdubs at all. That's four tiny pairs of strings and one flatpick, plus a stray finger or ten. These feats of the impossible are something like what Chet Atkins does on guitar -- Atkins, in fact, commended Marshall as "one of the few great musicians of our time." Produced and engineered by David Grisman.

- Review by James Christopher Monger
Produced and recorded by mandolin/bluegrass legend David Grisman, this two-disc set collects 31 recordings made over the span of four years by some of acoustic music's most talented practitioners. Recorded on the same two instruments (a 1922 Gibson F-5 mandolin and 1933 Martin OM-45 guitar) to a 1/2" two-track analog tape machine, and utilizing no equalization, it's up to the performer to set the dynamic. This is not just a showcase for the instrument, it's a challenge to the players, and whether it's improvised Eastern European blues (Frank Vignola's "Gypsy Playland") or a strict interpretation of J.S. Bach (Mike Marshall's "Corrente in D Minor"), these "tone poets" make each delightfully organic track absolutely electrifying.
