Gloria's Waltz - Jim Nunally

Jim Nunally is one of the most tasteful flatpicking guitar players working in acoustic music today. His powerful and driving rhythm style combine with lead work that is smooth, fluid, tasteful, and dripping with tone. During the past 30 years Jim has appeared on dozens of CDs with bands like Due West, the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience, John Reishman and the Jaybirds, and many others, including movie soundtracks and television shows. This is Jim's first solo CD and is dedicated to his mother, Gloria. On this recording Jim presents a wide variety of music, from bluegrass to folk, to country, and performs it with the help of his friends from the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience, John Reishman and the Jaybirds, Due West, plus a host of others including Dix Bruce, Judy Forrest, Rob Nunally, Joe Cravens, Buddy Williford, Rob Ickes, and more.

This, my first solo CD, is dedicated to my mother. I chose many of these songs because she likes them, some she heard while I was learning music from my dad. Others are new to her but I thought would fit the band I selected to play them. She told me that she likes them all, what would you expect from your mom?

The musicians on this recording are some of the best in the world. I have the good fortune to be in bands with most of the musicians featured on the CD. They include:

The David Grisman Bluegrass Experience (DGBX)
David “Dawg” Grisman, vocal and mandolin. Keith Little, vocal and banjo. Sam Grisman, acoustic bass. Chad Manning, fiddle.

John Reischman and the Jaybirds
John Reischman, mandolin. Trisha Gagnon, vocal and acoustic bass. Nick Hornbuckle, banjo. Greg Spatz, fiddle.

Due West
Erik Thomas vocal and mandolin. Bill Evans, banjo. Cindy Browne, acoustic bass. Tashina Clarridge, fiddle.
