Studio Special with Jerry Douglas

Jerry Douglas recently brought his fine band to our studio to play on the Studio Special, and that show debuted this morning.

If you heard the show, it's no doubt apparent that what the guys played wasn't middle-of-the-road bluegrass. But wow! The spirit and musicianship were definitely present. I'm truly blown away and amazed at the ability of Jerry to seemingly become one with his instrument. In fact, after the show, Jerry and I talked off the air about how the dobro has a "voice" of its own, and even augmenting a vocal number it becomes another voice alongside the one that's actually singing.

The band Jerry brought along with him was fantastic as well, and their song selection, while progressive, was great and drawn from Jerry's new album, Glide.

The next airing of this show is tomorrow [Saturday] at 11 AM ET. For other air times, follow this link: Studio Special Air Times.
