World renowned dobro guitarist and Nashville recording icon Jerry Douglas is joined on 'Traveler' by an outstanding line-up of super stars and bandmates including: Alison Krauss and Union Station, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Dr. John, Keb'Mo, Mumford & Sons, Marc Cohn, Bela Fleck and more...

The phrase "living legend" may be overused, but in the case of the master Dobro guitarist Jerry Douglas, it's also an understatement. In addition to his first-call status as a Nashville recording icon, he's adored by rock musicians like Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, James Taylor, and John Fogerty, all of whom have featured him on tours. Jerry is a 13-time Grammy winner and the long-time featured soloist with the multi-platinum Alison Krauss and Union Station.

With 'Traveler', Jerry has recorded an album that will even further elevate his already impressive stature from super-sideman to a bona fide front-rank creator of musical Americana. Produced by Russ Titelman (Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Ry Cooder etc.), and recorded in New Orleans, Nashville and London, this ambitious collection of vocals and instrumentals enlists a truly awesome cast of characters in support of an epic vision that combines Country/Bluegrass, R&B, and even a ballad with roots in the British Isles (Paul Simon's "The Boxer" performed with Mumford & Sons and the song's composer.)

Other highlights include two New Orleans classics - "Something You Got," with vocals and guitar by Eric Clapton; and "High Blood Pressure," with vocals by Keb' Mo and a gang of the Crescent City's finest including Dr. John. But it's really an album full of high points, and the reaction among general music fans is likely to be what many insiders have known for years. There is simply no one who plays music like Jerry Douglas.
