Traveler -- CD

Jerry Douglas (and friends)

2012 eOne Music

Editorial Reviews

The phrase living legend may be overused, but in the case of the master Dobro guitarist Jerry Douglas, it s also an understatement. In addition to his first-call status as a Nashville recording icon, hes adored by rock musicians like Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, James Taylor, and John Fogerty, all of whom have featured him on tours. Jerry is a 13-time Grammy© winner and the long-time featured soloist with the multi-platinum Alison Krauss and Union Station. And he was an NEA Heritage Foundation grant winner in 2004.

With Traveler, Jerry has finally recorded an album that will even further elevate his already impressive stature from super-sideman to a bona fide front-rank creator of musical Americana. Produced by Russ Titelman (Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Ry Cooder, Little Feat, etc.), and recorded in New Orleans, Nashville, and London, this ambitious collection of vocals and instrumentals enlists a truly awesome cast of characters in support of an epic vision that combines Country/Bluegrass, R&B, and even a ballad with roots in the British Isles (Paul Simons The Boxer performed with Mumford & Sons and the song s composer.) Other highlights include two New Orleans classics--- Something You Got, with vocals and guitar by Eric Clapton; and High Blood Pressure, with vocals by Keb Mo and a gang of the Crescent City s finest including Dr. John.

I have to say I'm a bit bemused that in a thread devoted to Americana fandom that this post.... back on page 2 has apparently failed to garner any comment traction whatsoever from American roots music aficionados. :scratch2:

Americana?, KFAT?, hours of grade A tunes?

Crickets?.....Really?

Bookmarked, will check it out on the weekend, thanks!
 
Thanks for the link Phantom +48, I missed it the first time around. Listening to Larry Gatlin on KFAT link right now. Brought back memories of hanging out with the Gatlin and the late Gordy from KFAT. What an incredible time for FM radio in California.
