Jerry Douglas is the dobro king. He is a master musician who transcends his bluegrass foundation and takes his instrument to previously unexplored musical realms. Jerry is a virtuoso who is comfortable improvising in any style of music. He is a genius who knows no technical limits and is capable of playing whatever he feels like at the moment he feels like playing it.
After touring and recording these last few years in his high profile role as the special guest band member of Alison Krauss' Union Station, as well as a featured performer on the popular O, Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack and the Down From the Mountain tour, Jerry's burgeoning legend continues to cement his status as the greatest dobro player of all time. Lookout For Hope, Jerry's latest solo release, displays a broad spectrum of his talent, from beautiful, tranquil meditations to fleet-fingered romps. It is the type of record that heralds the emergence of a superstar. Featuring a cover of Duane Allman's Little Martha, the Bill Frisell-penned title track and six Jerry originals, Lookout For Hope is the kind of album that will turn an esoteric artist into a household name.
Produced by Jerry Douglas, with guest artists Trey Anastasio (Phish), James Taylor, Maura O'Connell, Sam Bush, The Crickets, Chris Thile, Bryan Sutton, Stuart Duncan, and Jeff Coffin.
