From The Brothers Burton

Scott says: The bluegrass dobro master himself. Don’t miss the increasingly rare chance to hear great acoustic music played on actual acoustic instruments!

Taylor says: Jerry Douglas kind of makes me want to burn my lap guitar and change my name for ever attempting to play anything with a slide. No matter who he plays with, Jerry Douglas never ceases to amaze.
