I really like the Dobro ride on Steve Wariner's "Life's Highway" from about 10 years back. I don't know who played it but it's pretty tasty! Also for the older stuff check out Uncle Josh Graves work with Flatt & Scruggs like "Shuckin' the Corn". He liked to do a little Travis Pickin' on the Dobro!

Jerry, you've jolted my memory. I have a copy of Life's Highway on a ‘Best Of’ Steve Wariner LP. It is some fine playing, indeed! Perhaps i like that choice better.

"Leave Me Lonely" by Gary Morris ("Plain Brown Wrapper" album). Jerry Douglas says this song opened a lot of doors for him as a Nashville session player. It's my favorite, and the song that influenced me to learn to play my Dobro.

I hate to pick favorites, but I really do appreciate what Stacey Phillips has done to help break the Dobro bluegrass/country stereotype. I have his "All Old Friends (out of print)" and "Hey Mister Get the Ball (Shanachie)" LPs and they are very innovative, in my opinion. I believe the latter is available on CD.

That said, "The Great Dobro Sessions" on Sugar Hill is a lot of great bluegrass Dobro.

Barney Isacc's C6th Dobro work on "Hawaiian Touch" is great too.

And don't forget Ken Emerson's National tricone work on "Slack and Steel."

1) Mike Auldridge "Dobro", still the finest single resonator guitar album I've ever heard.
2) Mike Auldridge "Treasures Untold" ... great mix of songs (6 string) and (8-string) respohonic instrumentals
3) Phil Leadbetter "Philibuster. Phil has a nice style ... mix of Douglas & Auldridge. He does a great Bluegrass version of "Happy Together"
4) Rob Ickes "Slide City" ... fantstic record. Brings resophonic guitar into the jazz/contemporary intrumental realms.
5) Jerry Douglas "Plant Early". Not his most well-known record but my personal favorite. Very evocative tunes and superb playing.

Mike Auldridge does have the touch. The one I go back to alot is his Blues And Blue-Grass
LP.

And for those of us that like or dobro a bit more "steel like":

Eight String Swing by Mike A. Also the dobro/steel album mike did with Jeff Newman(sp). The title escapes me.

Bob-
I have to agree with your comments on Stacy Phillips. What a player! His 'All Old Friends' album also includes some sweet pedal steel by banjo wiz Tony Trischka on one tune.

Also anything by Mike Auldridge. ANYTHING! I like his 'Old Dog' and 'Eight String Swing' records.

Mike and Stacy's contributions to the 'Great Dobro Sessions' on Sugar Hill are my personal favorites too.

Can't go wrong with Josh Graves either. In addition to the Flatt&Scruggs stuff, he played on a lot of Charlie McCoy (harmonica) albums.

Definitely "Dobro" by Mike A. I found this album in my best friend's bother's room when I was 16 and I still get chills listening to it. Also gotta have Mike's "Old Dog" album.

The Foggy Mountain album by Flatt & Scruggs has some classic Josh songs and also has some of the only banjo I can stand to listen to for any length of time (sorry, it just slipped out).

Rob Ikes Slide City and Jerry's Skip, Hop and Wobble are also great inspiration for what the instrument is capable of. I once told Rob Ickes that when I listen to Central Park I keep expecting Dickey Betts to come in with a guitar solo ala Live at the Fillmore - its just got that great jam vamp to it.

Anything by Jerry Douglas and Mike Auldridge. I am particularly partial to Auldridge's "8 String Swing" whereby he pays tribute to Buddy Charleton, his teacher on steel and dobro, by recording songs Chareleton cut!

I read in the Tennessean that Josh Graves had to have a leg amputated.
