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!

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.

This is a great album - especially if you like the dobro. It's wonderful to hear all of these great players and all of the different styles. I've listened to a lot of bluegrass and country music and was familiar with Jerry Douglas, Mike Auldridge, Rob Ickes and most of the others, but I had never heard Curtis Burch and Stacy Phillips...what a suprise. If you love dobro you need this album in you library.

This CD is a must for country or bluegrass music fans. It features 21 tracks of great dobro guitar accompanied by fiddle, banjo and sometimes mandolin. If you are like me and have never really gave dobro music a whole lot of thought, you will be pleasantly surprised. I think I could become hooked.

This has a nice variety of Dobro music. Very enjoyable to listen to the maestros of this instrument; it never gets tiring or boring!

"It was the biggest and most important gathering of influential dobro players the world has ever seen". So begin the liner notes to this remarkable album. In November 1993 ten of the greatest known dobro players met to make this wonderful collection, with various styles of playing and from many eras of music. With 21 recordings and great sound, this is one you'll play often if you love dobro. Put this on and just enjoy the mellow, haunting sound as you sip your second cup of coffee on a summer Sunday morning and let your mind just flow with the sounds.

This truly IS a Great collection of dobro music. A wonderful overview of different styles of playing by the maestros of the time.

This is a great album if you are interested in dobro playing, obviously. Almost every great dobro player you can think of is on this album. If you are just getting into dobro, this album can help you get a sense of all the different styles out there and then chose a style you want to play in. Tut Taylor's tracks are especially great, and Gene Wooten's cover of "Daytripper" is phenomonal.

How could they not feature Frank Poindexter. He is the greatest dobro player out there.
