Music at its best!

"Great instrumental project! Most of the Dobro "Celebrities" are on this album, the great old players like Josh Graves and Mike Auldridge as well as the young players like Gene Wooten and Sally Van Meter. They all have one thing in common - extraordinary musicianship. The danger with instrumentaö projects featuring the same instrument is always that it gets boring after awhile, but not here. There are so many different ways to play, also the song selection, from traditional fast-paced bluegrass to modern sounds, everything is here and the Dobro really fits for the complete musical spectrum. I really enjoyed this album!"

Great music for guitar lovers to discover!

"An amazing album for those who love guitar music and like all types of music. The artists collected for the album provided a wide range of music for our enjoyment. The dobro can be hauntingly sad or chime its notes in a joyful expression of the player's mood. I had not heard the dobro played except for bluegrass music until I bought this album a couple of years ago. The musicians who have been around a long time have a particular style of playing and the younger players have made this instrument their own with just as important a style, showing the versatility of the dobro beyond bluegrass. Who would have thought "Day Tripper", a Beatles tune, could sound so cool with a dobro? All of these pieces are instrumentally divine! Well worth the money for those who choose their music collection carefully for 'keepers'."

It opened my eyes to a whole new way to play guitar

"This CD is a must for country or bluegrass music fans. It features 21 tracks of great dobro guitar accompanied by fiddle, banjo and sometimes mandolin. If you are like me and have never really gave dobro music a whole lot of thought, you will be pleasantly surprised. I think I could become hooked."
