Music reviews of Restless on the Farm
Music Review: [I'm sorry: My 1-liner somehow won't fit here!]
Rating: 5 Stars
Jerry Douglas's latest CD, "Restless on the Farm," does seem to come out of a musical restlessness. Known for his dobro (i.e. resophonic lap guitar) virtuosity, regularly appearing at important music festivals alongside the very best instrumentalists of New Acoustic music, hired by half the recording artists needing top-notch dobro accompaniment, and occasionally putting out his own album, Douglas has performed, to my knowledge, on no other kind of guitar. Here, though, he's stretched his nimble wings, playing in several cuts on lap steel and Weissenborn guitars, as well as dobro. The sound is varied, using the sweetness of the Weissenborn to good effect, and playing a surprisingly likable growly lap steel. For those who still think of dobro as only a bluegrass or country appendage, soft-spoken Jerry's here to say "Open your ears! We do it all!" He gives us rock-ish sounds (half the cuts use drums), a Johnny Winter blues tune, an Errol Garner swing number, and a nouveau-classical duet with Bela Fleck. But all you die-hard fans of Douglas's otherwise uncubbyholable New Acoustic sound which he and his other instrumental virtuoso-buddies have been developing for the last decade or two needn't fret: this is no radical departure and the sound we love is well represented here. In fact, many of those very New Acoustic virtuosos appear: Fleck on (what else?) banjo, Russ Barenberg on guitar, Edgar Meyer on bass, and Sam Bush on mandolins, with fine additions by such relative newcomers as Bryan Sutton (guitar) and John Gardner (drums). Another extension of Douglas's offerings this time out is vocals, not his, but those of Tim O'Brien, Steve Earl, John Cowan, and Maura O'Connell. Most of the pieces are instrumentals, though, mostly his own compositions. There's a grand one, "Turkish Taffee," which really does sound Turkish. Two cuts are trios with Barenberg and Meyer (with whom he recorded the superb CD, "Skip, Hop & Wobble"). Like "Skip, Hop & Wobble," this is one of those few albums I ! play over and over, untiringly, and one I'm sure will become a classic in my collection. So take Jerry's invitation, even if you couldn't distinguish a dobro from a donut: check out what resophonic and slide guitars can do.
