5.0 out of 5 stars Music at its best!, October 4, 2003

Great instrumental project! Most of the Dobro "Celebrities" are on this album, the great old players like Josh Graves and Mike Auldridge as well as the young players like Gene Wooten and Sally Van Meter. They all have one thing in common - extraordinary musicianship. The danger with instrumentaö projects featuring the same instrument is always that it gets boring after awhile, but not here. There are so many different ways to play, also the song selection, from traditional fast-paced bluegrass to modern sounds, everything is here and the Dobro really fits for the complete musical spectrum. I really enjoyed this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music for guitar lovers to discover!, December 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Dobro Sessions (Audio CD)

An amazing album for those who love guitar music and like all types of music. The artists collected for the album provided a wide range of music for our enjoyment. The dobro can be hauntingly sad or chime its notes in a joyful expression of the player's mood. I had not heard the dobro played except for bluegrass music until I bought this album a couple of years ago. The musicians who have been around a long time have a particular style of playing and the younger players have made this instrument their own with just as important a style, showing the versatility of the dobro beyond bluegrass. Who would have thought "Day Tripper", a Beatles tune, could sound so cool with a dobro? All of these pieces are instrumentally divine! Well worth the money for those who choose their music collection carefully for 'keepers'.

If it's possible to wear out a CD as we used to with vinyl, then I have already taken several layers off this one. I never tire of the varieties of dobro playing on this one. It was my daily companion for a 2 hour commute for 4 years! It will open your interests to many of the great players of this under-appreciated instrument.
