Dobro master and 14-time GRAMMY winner Jerry Douglas is to the resonator guitar what Jimi Hendrix was to the electric guitar, elevating, transforming, and reinventing the instrument in countless ways. Additionally, Douglas is a freewheeling, forward-thinking recording and touring artist whose output incorporates elements of country, bluegrass, rock, jazz, blues, and Celtic into his distinctive musical vision. Called “Dobro’s matchless contemporary master” by The New York Times, three-time CMA Musician of the Year award recipient Jerry Douglas is one of the most innovative recording artists in music as a solo artist, band leader for The Jerry Douglas Band and his GRAMMY winning bluegrass band The Earls of Leicester, as well as a member of groundbreaking ensembles including Alison Krauss & Union Station, J.D. Crowe & the New South, The Country Gentlemen, Boone Creek, and Strength In Numbers.
My job has allowed me to work with many artists like Ed Sheeran, Billie Ellish, Carrie Underwood, Tommy Emmanuel, and everyone in between for nearly a decade. I saw Jerry Douglas work in the studio and he's one of the most talented musicians I've ever seen. He plays effortlessly with such emotion. I mean effortlessly. I'm a jazz and classical snob but find him truly amazing. He's a gifted musician.
@3:27 the Bass player plays the third of the chord. Interesting variation. Great job Jerry. You've fought hard to get to this point and your personality IS coming through.
Ha! I was literally listening to that wreckard yesterday and wishing they’d do a volume 2. Maybe in memory of Roland. Incidentally, the LP has one of my all time favorite album covers for whatever reason.
Shoutout to Daniel Kimbro's (bass) original song "Loyston," on this upcoming album. Just a killer song live and look forward it to be released. Same with Seale's "Renee." Jerry has surrounded himself with the absolute best in talent. Hell yah.
No,no the telecaster guitarist is almost show boating ,over playing and i dont think it is appropriate. This is more like a formal studio jam. Lets just shiwbist the melody to death,and yes we all know you are some the frighin best but why do you have to ripp the song a new ass hole. Shame ,for shame on you.
Absolutely. It’s funny, the first time this played I was in a different room. When I heard that guitar come in I thought, “that sounds like a telecaster, I need to go see…damn”. Then I just stood there and stared at this performance. Then replayed it. Two more times. Phenomenal.
Couldn't agree more - absolutely fantastic. Am looking with much anticipation to his interpretation on JD's classic Ankara to Izmir... with hope he'll have tuned up the telecaster!
