what an interesting album. you may only know jerry douglas as a household name if you are a big bluegrass fan. hailing from warren, ohio, jerry is by far the world’s greatest dobro player. there really isn’t a close second. in his 45 year career, he has played on 1500 albums and won 14 grammys. he is perhaps best known as a sideman for alison krauss and union station. on this one he mashes progressive bluegrass, bebop jazz, gritty blues and all kinds of other genres into a captivating melting pot.
