good stuff
Heard him on Prairie Home Companion month or so ago. The dobro is a fine instrument often played to music that doesn't stand up to it. Jerry matches both great writing (pieces of music) with great musicianship to the rarely heard dobro.

Great player...Average Result...
I really like JD's playing but this CD misses the mark for me. I believe most artists benefit from having a producer other than themselves and this seems to be the case here. The songs are not memorable for the most part. The sound quality, instrument choices, and overall mix are inconsistent and feel random. Almost more like a fairly planned jam rather than a well executed CD. I even put it away and came back to it a few weeks later for a second sitting. Its not bad...its just not wonderful either...and doesn't live up to the greatness of the artist.

Brilliant
The title of this review is an understatement. I can appreciate Jerry Douglas more with his own work than I can when he performs with Alison Krause, and I am enamored with the latter. Words aren't sufficient to describe how Mr. Douglas moves me, and this latest work transcends all my expectations from his musicianship.

World's greatest Dobro
While Alison Krause is exploring other music direction her fellow Union Station members are out working. A great solid set from one of the greatest dobro players. Except for two songs this is instrumental so if you like those songs with a great dobro presence this is it. A great backing band to help make this a wonderful set. If you are a Jerry Douglas fan make sure that this one is in your collection!
