On this 1983 album, the acclaimed mandolinist strings together an assortment of holiday tunes like they're popcorn strung around an ornament-laden pine. With the likes of bassist Rob Wasserman and Bela Fleck in town, Grisman gives the dawg treatment to everything from "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" to "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," closing out, appropriately enough, with "Auld Lang Syne." With picking this tasteful, it's really rather a shame that Acoustic Christmas will inevitably be packed away for 11 months of the year. --Steven Stolder ## Images ![Acoustic Christmas - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FmiCswsBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ David Grisman? Yes! Fabulous musician? Yes! *by K***J on Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2019* I do not miss a David Grisman album. He is one of the country's greatest acoustic mandolinists, legendary. Versed in folk, bluegrass, jazz, and more. He has explored the musical traditions of several countries the immigrants have brought here. He has played with some of this nation's finest - to acclaim. He can make the old and tired new, and he does it here. Unless you can't deal with Christmas music that isn't the same, commercial musac of the holiday season, I believe you will treasure this. Be warned: you may listen, and then go searching for more by this artist. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Painfully Overheard Carols Here Given an Invigorating Rebirth. *by W***H on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2011* A couple of online reviewers have carped at the Donald Duck vocal on "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", but they are miserable Scrooges and deserve to be pummeled with roasted chestnuts, red-hot from the open fire. Okay....let's not go that far. But listen! It is not a "Donald Duck impersonator" you hear, but Clarence "Ducky" Nash himself, the man who voiced the Donald on a jillion Disney cartoons. This I learned from David Grisman himself. I went backstage after a show at the Iron Horse club in Northampton, Massachusetts, several months after "Acoustic Christmas" came out. I complimented him on his fine Donald Duck vocal, and he told me he did not do it himself, but secured the vocal services--if "vocal" is the right word--- of Mr. Nash. And in any event, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" is a very short cut.The rest of the album is Duck-free, and still sounds fresh. Apart from the Respighi, every song on this album is familiar, almost too familiar. When I saw the song list (and before I heard the album), I groaned---do we really need another "The Christmas Song", another "Silent Night"? But David Grisman and his fine sidepeople scrape away the layers of dreary tedious dutiful tradition and treat each song as a new adventure in musical puckishness. Listen to "Silent Night"----it's actually insouciant!! Bouncy!! How is this possible? But he does it. A guy plays throat tromnet---playing his mouth like a trumpet---and it will make you grin like a jack-o-lantern when you hear it.That David Grisman is a master mandolinist is hardly news. This is a charming holiday album. Give it a whirl. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply a delight. *by J***2 on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2015* Wow. For having been released in 1983, I can't believe I didn't find out about this record sooner. I purchased this about six weeks ago preparing for the holiday season. Amazing music created here for this project. Killer fiddle melodies, great guitar and banjo work (Taylor, Fleck), literally nobody disappoints on this one. Plus, Rob Wasserman is jamming bass which makes the whole experience extra smooth. If you're into this kinda stuff, I wouldn't hesitate. David Grisman is a fantastic musician who plays many styles, there are jazz/ space/ grass/ folk hints everywhere, but you'll never fully be able to pinpoint it and slap a label on it. It's all instrumental, I think that's because they really didn't need lyrics, the whole album is so clean and on point that you'll be listening and the words will just be there, you'll be singing and humming away and not even realize it! For a fellow who I'm pretty sure doesn't celebrate the Christmas holiday, he sure created some great Christmas music.
