Jerry Douglas — Uncommon Music

In a set that seemed custom-made for the festival environment, the King of Telluride, Sam Bush, played his 36th Telluride Bluegrass Festival during the Satruday-evening time slot.

He joked that he was lucky to be only 38-years-old and playing his 36th festival and that he had known “about this gig for weeks.”

He told some stories about ‘Stringbean’ Akeman, his first time at Telluride and the formation of New Grass Revival and being told by Bill Monroe to stick with the fiddle instead of the mandolin. He declared he was left “verklempt” twice by his guests.

Lyle Lovett – “It’s Not Big, It’s Large”

What a hilarious gentleman. Lyle Lovett’s new release It’s Not Big, It’s Large (of course referring to his Large Band) makes me smile just thinking about it.

Guests like Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck and Guy Clark are everywhere, when you’re Lyle, you can get anyone to play on your album.

Of course, not to take away from his band which includes Russ Kunkel, Gene Elders and Mitch Watkins.
