Jerry Douglas is truly the master of the Dobro. He has taken it from a side instrument in Bluegrass to a lead, from Bluegrass to mainstream Country, and into most every musical genre. There are no lines he cannot cross over. Seeing him in the 70s-80s as one of the members of J. D. Crowe and the New South as he, Ricky Skaggs, Tony Rice, J. D. and Bobby Hicks took over the reins of the leaders of Bluegrass from the likes of The Osborne Brothers, The Seldom Scene, and Bill Monroe, the entire world has opened up to Jerry Douglas and his brand of music. It's basic, gritty, and steeped in tradition and yet it takes George Harrison's ballad to new heights and depths. It's no longer just music, it's art. At it's highest form.
Beautiful performance and arrangement of this song. I loved the telecaster (being favorite guitar) and all the emotion every one brings to the song. I can hear everyone’s style come across perfectly. Filmed in black and white was also the best choice for my taste. Damn good. George would have loved it. 🎸🎸🎸. Jerry Douglas always brings it when he plays. Tone and phrasing is amazing. The whole band sounds great. Looking forward to hearing more. The perfect lineup and perfect band.
@GillVanderlip-zd8dm Thank you for appreciating more than just Jerry, and of course he's amazing. But I also think Mike Seals is pretty amazing now too! He's been at it for years and man, he's got a cutie for a wife. Their little girl's gonna have some inborn talent!
heavenly dobro tone. the guitar solo has unusual but super cool phrasing, and the calm comes back with the fiddle. the upright bass solo gives this arrangement an even stronger feel. Jerry shows restraint. Bravo, the risk of "heard a million times" for this song was very high but the arrangement was superb!
Absolutely. It’s funny, the first time this played I was in a different room. When I heard that guitar come in I thought, “that sounds like a telecaster, I need to go see…damn”. Then I just stood there and stared at this performance. Then replayed it. Two more times. Phenomenal.
Couldn't agree more - absolutely fantastic. Am looking with much anticipation to his interpretation on JD's classic Ankara to Izmir... with hope he'll have tuned up the telecaster!
@@glassncobalt Really? Who told you that?! You should check your record collection. It was on a Beatles album: The double 'White Album' released in 1968.
Shoutout to Daniel Kimbro's (bass) original song "Loyston," on this upcoming album. Just a killer song live and look forward it to be released. Same with Seale's "Renee." Jerry has surrounded himself with the absolute best in talent. Hell yah.
First time I heard him play was with Alison Krouse & Union Station (Being = Jerry Douglas, Dan Timinski, Barry Bailes, Ron Block) in Florida at an outdoor venue .... I was Blown away .... over twenty years later still love them all and especially Jerry on Dobro .... he was with a confluence of musicians in Scotland for the "TRANSATLANTIC SESSIONS" .... in studio ( Sara Jarosz, Alison Krouse, James Taylor etc ) he is simply the best at his instrument - all are in agreement in the industry. Kudos, GBjj
Brilliant Jerry, I saw you play it with Clapton, now for sure could you get Sierra Hull to Transatlantic Sessions and play it with her and perhaps Molly Tuttle as well,,, we don’t ask for much now do we.
I know there are a lot of overdubs and what you see is not necessarily the playing in the recording, but it's odd that Mike Seal is barely revealed visually. You mostly just see his guitar and his face is blurred out if shown at all. Great studio pickin' nonetheless.
Yeah-- As always, the music is unquestionably delicious. But very odd cinematography, with the camera claustrophobically on three players, and guitar featured only in very tight shots. I kept waiting and wondering when we'd see the face behind that excellent playing...finally I had no choice but to assume there was some reason the near-omission was intentional. So...why?
Best version of this song imho. Such emotion from every note. I just wish the electric was an acpustic. Instead. Imho the electric doesn’t fit with the feel of this song.
Absolutely LOVE the electric. Incredible tone, amazing execution and soulful lines. Great contrast to all of the beautiful acoustic playing. Bad assed all around.
This is virtuoso slide guitar but honestly, does it add anything to the simplicity of the glorious original?? I don't think so. It's likes adding extra dobs of paint to a Picasso.
Greatest dobro player of all time.
Absolutely!

Beautiful performance gentlemen. Wonderful 👏🏽
There are so many fantastic versions of this song, but this is now my favorite. Thanks Jerry, Mike, Daniel, and Christian!
Beautiful.....love it!
Eric's and George's rendition were always the creative geniuses on another level.Nice job guys, very nice.
What a splendid arrangement. Jerry is a master.

Love Jerry (always!), but holy hell, the sounds coming out of that Telecaster just completely blew me away.
Absolutely.

Great Jerry.
That's a fine rendition of the classic Beatles song, great arrangement and fine playing from everyone. Thanks for posting.

@glassncobalt Wrong. It was on the Beatles white album.
As dobro players go, Jerry is the G.O.A.T. Like Bela is to the banjo.
Saw him at the Kent stage last year. They did a version of Chick's "Spain" that was unbelievable.

I totally agree. I saw him in Utah with AK & US. When he played Choctaw Hayride, I was left totally speechless.
Artful elegance! Thank you guys! ❤
Brilliant! A beautiful version of this wonderful song. The sound be gets from the dobro is the best.
Just wow. Beautiful.
Great rendition of a classic song!
What a cover, what a band! Instant classic
so beautiful! love this! thanks to all
Splendid! Thank you, Jerry & Company!
Just gorgeous.
Amazing Job Man 🎸🎶🎸
Loved the bass solo... made me smile.
Thank you kindly for sharing. Always been a favorite and already pre saved - beautiful.
And great to see and listen to Mr. Kimbro on the upright bass!
Thanks to JD and the band. Loved it !
Goosebumps!
Excellent!
Love it !!
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
Feel like I went to Mississippi Delta Asheville, NY and Heaven crazy good
Thanks for the music!
You guys are absolutely amazing, so beautiful, thank you!
Beautiful
This is how it's done! Bravo
Sometimes, less is more.
Lovely.
Gorgeous arrangement and performance 🙏
Yup, great stuff.
Go Kimbro!
Very nice, thanks much.
Thanks Flux. ❤👏
W. O. W. ‼️ 🎼 😎👍🏼 🎶
Bravissimi. Un saluto dall' Italia.
Excellent . At least we can be assured of Prince won't be playing the outro here.
Brilliant Jerry, I saw you play it with Clapton, now for sure could you get Sierra Hull to Transatlantic Sessions and play it with her and perhaps Molly Tuttle as well,,, we don’t ask for much now do we.
OMG that was great! i am trying hard to preorder the CD or Vinyl but cannot make it work. Guess i can wait until September
Dang
someone's been hanging in the shed with tommy lol ;-)
Beautiful! Does anyone know where I could get tab for this song?
Pretty Ain't It!
Beautifully done. I'm not sure about the bass solo, though.
Indeed. Great musician no doubt but it wrecked the piece 😢
Please release a hires (96k) digital version too.
J Deezy

I just wish the electric was an acpustic. Instead. Imho the electric doesn’t fit with the feel of this song.
That was my first reaction as well, but given the incredible playing and frankly, the title of the song, I think it works.
Absolutely LOVE the electric. Incredible tone, amazing execution and soulful lines. Great contrast to all of the beautiful acoustic playing. Bad assed all around.
Strangely obvious they are not showing the lead guitar players face while playing leads...?
Did he have snot coming out of his nose or something??? It's bizarre why he's the only one not shown close up.
This is virtuoso slide guitar but honestly, does it add anything to the simplicity of the glorious original?? I don't think so. It's likes adding extra dobs of paint to a Picasso.
I'm having taste for polka here - where is tuba?
Yes,they might as well speed up the tempo to a weird al Yankovic polka pace because it couldn't sound any more ridiculous in my opinion.
@@John-wr6yo ouch!!!
An acoustic guitar would be a better fit.. just my pref and opinion.
I agree
I couldn’t get past three minutes.
How boring!
It´s just fu*ing boring, "Wild West Nostalgia".
I dont think it works well as an Appalachian minor ballad. Over played and to many embellishments.
Just beautiful!
