The legendary musical partnership between Jerry Garcia and David Grisman produced some of the most beloved acoustic recordings in American roots music, and Bare Bones Volume III - Alternate Takes offers a rare and intimate glimpse into that creative bond. Released in 2025 on Round Records, this collection brings together 16 alternate duo arrangements drawn from across their celebrated catalog, including material originally heard on Garcia/Grisman, Not For Kids Only, Shady Grove, and Been All Around This World.
What makes this release truly compelling is the stripped-back nature of these recordings — with extraneous instrumentation removed, the interplay between Garcia and Grisman is front and center, showcasing their remarkable chemistry in its purest form. The improved sound quality breathes new life into familiar songs, making this an essential listen for fans of the duo's bluegrass and folk-rooted collaborations. For devotees of Garcia and Grisman's acoustic work, this third volume of the Bare Bones series is a meaningful addition to their storied discography.
