This live performance features Delano Floyd “Del” McCoury and David “Dawg” Grisman playing the classic gospel song, “Life’s Railway to Heaven,” followed by an instrumental bluegrass version of Shalom Aleichem (3:27-5:28). Grisman, who grew up in a Conservative Jewish household, is an American bluegrass mandolinist, heavily influenced by jazz, folk and Old World Mediterranean string band music. McCoury is an American bluegrass guitarist and leader of the Del McCoury Band, where he plays with his two sons. They play a unique rendition of the popular melody composed by Cantor Israel Goldfarb in 1918.
