Jerry Douglas > Birdland
Composed by Josef Zawinul
It’s probably that I don’t really know this music (just Alison and Jerry, Alison’s dobro player) that I’m so surprised by the bluegrass cover songs.

Alison Krauss > Baby, Now That I’ve Found You
Composed by by Tony Macaulay & John MacLeod
Alison’s been extremely shrewd in using Baby Boom cred to establish herself beyond the country world. But, one needs to more than just old to recognize this gem.
Mike Auldridge > Dobro Island
This album was originally released on Adelphi Records, and I heard it when I was involved in the indie record scene of the 70s. Not being too much of a folkie, my partner played a resonator guitar so I paid attention to Mike, and I could never shake this beautiful ballad out of my head.
