Review by Ken Dryden
It's no wonder that mandolinist David Grisman came up with the name "Dawg Music" to describe his style of playing, which draws from bluegrass, jazz, and many other forms of music. This 1978 recording has long been a favorite of Grisman's fans, as all of the compositions and performances have stood the test of time. Grisman's lively "Dawg's Bull" and guitarist Tony Rice's upbeat "Devlin'" set a high standard at the opening of the album, yet the remaining tracks continue to meet the high watermark of the first two songs. In addition to Rice's presence throughout the recording, Grisman utilizes five different bassists (only one song, "Dawgology," features two of them together), violinist Darol Anger, mandolinist Mike Marshall, and on two selections, the jazz violin master Stéphane Grappelli.

Reseña de Ken Dryden
No es de extrañar que al mandolinista David Grisman se le ocurriera el nombre de "Dawg Music" para describir su estilo de tocar, que se inspira en el bluegrass, el jazz y muchas otras formas de música. Esta grabación de 1978 ha sido por mucho tiempo la favorita de los fans de Grisman, ya que todas las composiciones e interpretaciones han resistido el paso del tiempo. El animado "Dawg's Bull" de Grisman y el alegre "Devlin'" del guitarrista Tony Rice establecieron un alto nivel en la apertura del álbum, pero los temas restantes siguen cumpliendo con la alta marca de agua de las dos primeras canciones. Además de la presencia de Rice a lo largo de la grabación, Grisman utiliza cinco bajistas diferentes (sólo una canción, "Dawgology", presenta dos de ellos juntos), la violinista Darol Anger, el mandolinista Mike Marshall, y en dos selecciones, el maestro del violín de jazz Stéphane Grappelli.
