Mandolinist David Benedict’s debut solo album, Into the True Country, is a fresh and compelling display of acoustic instrumental music. Standing firmly on the familiar Bluegrass, Celtic, and Oldtime traditions, David tells a new story with his own progressive tunes and tasteful musicianship. Produced by Grammy-nominated mandolinist, Matt Flinner, Into the True Country also features a crew of stellar musicians including: Catherine BB Bowness (banjo), Samson Grisman (bass), Ross Martin (guitar), Christian Sedelmyer (fiddle), with an appearance by Matt Flinner on the octave mandolin (track 4).
