The phrase “living legend” may be overused, but in the case of master Dobro guitarist Jerry Douglas, it’s also an understatement. In addition to his first-call status as a Nashville recording icon, he’s adored by rock musicians like Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, James Taylor and John Fogerty, all of whom have featured him on tours.
With new studio album ‘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.
Described as "An unprecedented journey into American Music from a “matchless contemporary master” by The New York Times, the album is product stickered with the huge lineup of guests (in alpha order): Alison Krauss & Union Station, Bela Fleck, Del McCoury, Dr. John, Eric Clapton, 'Keb’ Mo, Marc Cohn, Mumford & Sons, Paul Simon and Sam Bush.
The Paul Simon composition ‘The Boxer’ features Simon himself, with Mumford & Sons' on this first new recording for them in 2 years.
