Jerry Douglas & Bill Frisell!

Post by Bobby Lee »

The CD is by bass player Victor Krauss and it's called "Far From Enough". Lots of great pickin by Jerry Douglas (on dobro, lap steel & Weissenborn) and guitarist Bill Frisell in a spacey improvisational context. Very cool!

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm glad to see Victor out there with his own cd. These three collaborated on a couple of Bill Frissell's cd's--"Nashville" and "Good Dog, Happy Man." Victor's sister is Allison Kraus

Viktor's sister Alison is on the CD doing the Robert Plant tune Big Log, from his solo record, Principle of Moments, which is a pretty neat tune I had completely forgotten about. I'm glad they revived it, and it is a nice version.

Victor played on "Good Dog, Happy Man", but the steel work is by Greg Leisz, not Jerry Douglas. I don't have "Nashville". Good album?

The Viktor Krauss CD is in pretty heavy rotation on my stereo these days. Great stuff. I must have a hundred CDs with Jerry Douglas on them and I`d put his perfomance on Nashville in the top ten. An engineer once asked me to recomend an album to hear how a Dobro should sound so he could get an idea how to E.Q. some tracks I`d done for him. Nashville was the album I told him to get. I should warn you that it does have BANJO on 2 or 3 tracks,however.

"Nashville" is one of my favorite albums. And yes, that's definitely how a dobro should sound.

I don't like every track on it, but the three quarters of it that I do like is just beautiful. Worth it for the first track alone.

P.S. And it's better than "Good Dog, Happy Man," in my opinion.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Travis Bernhardt on 10 April 2004 at 02:07 PM.]</p></FONT>
