notes

If you're a fan of the mandolin, you'll love this CD!
Cool Mandolin Company was founded in 2006 with the sole purpose of providing mandolin scholarship funding throughout the country. We LOVE the mandolin! You may be slightly obsessed with the mandolin. Don't worry, we're here for you!
"An American Tradition" is a mandolin composition CD from some of the best mandolin players in the US, Canada and the UK. All of these artists have graciously donated a track to the CD. 100% of the profits will go towards our mandolin scholarship program.
You'll hear newgrass, bluegrass, celtic, Americana, as well as mandolin music that "pushes the boundaries" of what's out there today. Some names you'll recognize right away. Some names will be new to you...but not for long! They represent the next generation of "mandolin legends".
We hope you'll also visit us at the Cool Mandolin Company website www.coolmandolin.com
Thanks!

  • An American Tradition
    author: Thomas Kinsky

    Great collection of mandolin songs. All great artists on this one. If you love the mandolin, you have to buy this CD.

  • A wonderful and varied CD.
    author: Philip Ward

    This is a wonderful and varied CD. The standard of playing is fantastic on all the tracks and it's great to hear how the mandolin can be used to excellent effect in different genres of music. Hailing from the UK I didn't know any of the artists apart from Simon Mayor, so it's also given me a new range of artists / CDs to track down and listen to. It's also given me inspiration to get practising!

    Really pleased to receive the CD. A great selection of mandolin playing covering many styles. Although I do not know all the artists the standard is high throughout, the playing superb and each track melodically strong. Your interest will be held from start to finish.

  • Great tunes and Players!!
    author: Gene Stosich

    I love this new CD! I think you have to play a mandolin to really appreciate the talent that is on this one. I think they are all "home runs!" Would any of you guys want to play on a "no name" persons album, I promise the songs are good? I could only hope, Thanks for the great collection.

  • Diverse, thoughtful, interesting & fun!
    author: Jersey Jim

    This CD does a good job of honoring the mandolin by way of presenting the work of a variety of artists who demonstrate the considerable range of the instrument. You will want to listen to this thoughtful and fun collection of tunes again and again.

  • An excellent introduction to many great players
    author: www.ukbluegrass.com

    This CD is a wonderful collection of tunes and songs from some of the world's best mandolin players. It covers all sorts of styles and genres and is a great introduction to the world of mandolin music. It should be an inspiration to anybody who wants to play, or is learning to play, the instrument. Highly recommended.

  • Traditional Mandolin Music at it's Best !
    author: Executive Producer - Anvil Records

    An American Tradition will please everyone that is either a stringed instrument player OR listener. Although the traditional songs please the bluegrass/country folks, the slower ballads break many genre barriers and appeal to an even wider audience drawing attention to the attractive tones of the mandolin as a great musical instrument!
