Customer Reviews

World's greatest Dobro
While Alison Krause is exploring other music direction her fellow Union Station members are out working. A great solid set from one of the greatest dobro players. Except for two songs this is instrumental so if you like those songs with a great dobro presence this is it. A great backing band to help make this a wonderful set. If you are a Jerry Douglas fan make sure that this one is in your collection!

Stepping Out Of The Box
I must have listened to Glide at least five times today and I'm sure I will tomorrow. As a musician I have to say it is refreshing to hear a little music that comes from outside of the box. If I wanted to hear an all bluegrass CD I would have been disappointed. But I wanted to hear the music that comes from inside the head of the artist and Glide is just that perfect capture of spirit and air. The stretch is long and wide and it never falters. If you are a hard core blugrass fan you wanted to hear band sounds. If you enjoy artistic adventure you will be taken on a ride in an old car to new places. You will visit old places in a new way. And you will feel emotions that Glide you along a aural vision. Gee, and he brings along great voices to speak to us.
Thank you Jerry.
Keep driving.

Best since Hop, Skip and Wobble
Glide is Jerry Douglas best effort since Hop, Skip and Wobble back in '93. It's an all around excellent CD and would recommend it to just about anybody. Jerry Douglas is at his best.
