5.0 out of 5 stars
60 years old when recorded,
By David Hudson (Jackson, Tn. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brother Oswald (Audio CD)
Oswald recorded this album in January 1972 at the Glaser Brothers Studio in Nashville, Tn. He was born Dec. 26, 1911. He was 60 years old when this album was recorded. I talked to Oswald in Oct. 1970, and he said arthritis in his fingers was bothering him. That makes this album even more spectacular. It certainly isn't noticable on these recordings. As Roy Acuff often said "Oswald did indeed have a special touch on the dobro." Oswald was left-handed and played the dobro as a right-handed player. This may have given him the special touch with the bar in his left hand. He was a real character down on lower Broadway and around the Ryman Auditorium during the Opry's years downtown. I heard Lester Flatt say once "When it comes to those old-timey songs, no one can put the bar to the old Dobro like Brother Oswald." And, That's The Truth If I Ever Told It.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Made me buy a Dobro at an Ebay auction.,
By LtCol Richard L. Jones (USAF-Retired) (Warner Robins, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brother Oswald (Audio CD)
I have several Dobro albums, and all of them are good. I know Jerry Douglas is currently all the rage and he deserves it for the new heights he has taken this instrument--but Brother Oswald is still the one I want to listen to the most. I guess his style just reaches me the best, even as I marvel at what other Resophonic guitar players have done. He is the one with a truly unique sound and style--all the rest seem to be just variations on the same theme, some doing it better than others of course. I have played flat top guitar most of my 62 years, but after listening to this CD, I bought a Gibson authentic Dobro and am trying to learn how to play it. This is a really great CD. Do not let it pass.

BROTHER OSWALD,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brother Oswald (Audio CD)
BEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD. AM 62 YEARS OLD AND NEVER HAD A DOBRO INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM. GLAD I STARTED WITH THIS ONE. YOU MIGHT ADD ABOUT 1-2 MORE STARS ON THE RATING.
