Support: High Strung String Band "I've reached a point in my life where I'm not afraid to try anything," states Jerry Douglas. "That's what this record's about." That fearlessness is manifested in spades on Traveler, the artist's 14th solo release and his first in three years. The world-renowned Dobro master defying expectations and ignoring genre restrictions to deliver his most stylistically expansive, personally-charged effort to date. Recorded in New Orleans, New York, Montreal and Banbury, England as well as in Douglas' homebase of Nashville, Traveler finds the 13-time Grammy winner and three-time Country Music Association Musician of the Year delivering an audaciously eclectic set that teams him with such world-class talents (and avowed Douglas admirers) as Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Mumford & Sons, Keb' Mo', Marc Cohn, Dr. John, Del McCoury, Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, Jon Cleary, Viktor Krauss and Omar Hakim, as well as Alison Krauss & Union Station, of which Douglas has been a member since 1998.
