Jerry Douglas ‘Traveler

Jerry Douglas ‘Traveler’ Album Features All-Star Cast of Musical Friends

Although he’s a gifted multi-instrumentalist, Jerry Douglas has become world-renowned for his mastery of the resonator guitar a/k/a the Dobro. In fact, James Taylor told Guitar Player magazine that Douglas is “the Muhammad Ali of the Dobro.”

With friends like that, it’s no wonder that a whole lot of other friends would hop on board Jerry’s latest album, Traveler, lending vocal and instrumental support to the 11-song collection that’s due for release on eOne Music on June 26.

The liner notes for Traveler, the follow-up to his 2009 holiday collection, Merry Christmas!, read like a who’s who of popular American music, with guest vocals from Eric Clapton, Marc Cohn, Keb’ Mo’, Alison Krauss and Union Station, Mumford & Sons and Paul Simon. Also along for the ride: Sam Bush (harmony vocals and mandolin), Dr. John (piano), Béla Fleck (banjo), Omar Hakim (drums), Viktor Krauss (bass), and Del McCoury (harmony vocals), among others.

“This record is the culmination of a long career spent making friends and lending my sound to theirs,” says the three-time CMA and 11-time ACM Musician of the Year. “This time my friends have come on board to lend their voices to me.”

Recorded in Nashville, New Orleans, New York, and Banbury, U.K., the album spotlights versions of Paul Simon’s classics “The Boxer” and “American Tune.”

In addition to four original instrumental tunes from Jerry, he also offers up his first solo lead vocal on record for a rendition of Leadbelly’s “On a Monday,” (a prison tune Johnny Cash later reworked as “I Got Stripes”).

Jerry Douglas Little Martha

“Little Martha” was the only Allman Brothers Band track written solely by the group leader and partial namesake Duane Allman.

The tune first featured on the final studio track on the Allman Brothers Band’s fourth album, Eat a Peach, issued in 1972. The track was recorded in October 1971, a few weeks before Duane Allman’s death in a motorcycle accident.

Allman’s original recording of the song is a bouncy fingerstyle acoustic guitar instrumental duet with minimal accompaniment. Allman and bandmate Dickey Betts played the tune on 6-string guitars using open Eb tuning.

The song’s simple melody and rhythmic counterpoint quickly made it a favorite among fans; acoustic guitar virtuoso Leo Kottke, who often covered the song in performance, once called it “the most perfect guitar song ever written.”
