In The Pines – Mandolin Edition

By Todd Phillips, Transcribed by Matt Flinner. This collection of 13 classic old-time instrumentals was transcribed for the mandolin from the Gourd Music recording In the Pines. All tunes are written as played by the mandolinists on the original recording-Mike Marshall and John Reischman. In some cases, solos for the other instruments (fiddle or guitar) have been adapted for the mandolin to offer either basic versions of the melodies or additional variations. Written in standard notation and tablature, the play list Rye Straw; Train on the Island; Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie; Liza Jane; Midnight on the Stormy Deep; Sugar in the Gourd; Down in the Valley to Pray; In the Pines; Spotted Pony; I Truely Understand; Whistlin’ Rufus; In the Willow Garden; and Sally Ann. Available with a masterful performance CD by a band consisting of mandolin, fiddle, banjo, guitar, and upright bass played in various combinations by all-star multi-instrumentalists Mike Marshall, John Reischman, Darol Anger, Stewart Duncan, Tony Trischka, Laurie Lewis, Tim O’Brien, Todd Phillips, and Scott Nygaard.
