David Mansfield - Grateful Dead's Workingman's Dead: Solo Mandolin (2017/FLAC)


 David Mansfield is an award-winning film and television composer with many major credits and has played with a diverse range of major artists over the years including a four-year stint in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. A founding member of Bruce Hornsby and the Range, David was awarded an RIAA platinum album and a Grammy Award for "The Way It Is," as well as as RIAA gold albums for Bob Dylan's "Desire" and "Hard Rain."

"'Workingman's Dead' was released when I was a teenager and was one of my first exposures to country and folk music. I tried to keep my performances in the spirit of the originals as much as possible — not so much re-invention, but simply enjoying those great feelings again from so long ago."
