Ashley Monroe, "Hank's Cadillac". Does anyone know who is playing dobro here with her? Also the guy singing with her.

Do you know what year that was from? I'm thinking it's Mike Witcher, but a younger version of Mike than the one I'm used to.

Not sure of the year. While he's no Jerry Douglas or Randy Kohrs (my favorite dobro player), the stuff he did on this song is really nice.

I believe that's a younger version of Alexander "Sasha" Ostrovsky, currently playing with Darius Rucker. He was Ashley Monroe's dobro player during that period.

I second it on Russian-born Sasha and former member of Bering Strait, it's definitely not Josh Matheny or Mike.

I somehow wasn't aware of Sasha, but will rectify that in a hurry - clearly that's who it is. Apologies to both Sasha and Mike!

I would have never guessed it was Sasha. Haven't seem many pictures of him. My apologies to Sasha for comparing him to Douglas and Kohrs. I have some great stuff from him. He's a great musician.

He also plays pedal steel.

Thanks

Well, the YouTube video says it was uploaded on 2/24/10, so it has to be before that. It's definitely not after 9/14/12. That's the day she got engaged to White Sox pitcher, John Danks. Also, I took a snapshot of her, and the ring on her finger does not appear to be an engagement ring.

I don't think he would have a problem being rated below Douglas or Kohrs. I remember an interview from some years back where Sasha, aside from citing Jerry as one of his greatest inspirations also looked up to him because as a young musician Jerry befriended him and apparently gave him a lot of help and advice.

There was even a story on Reso-Nation a few years ago that Jerry gave Sasha his first Scheerhorn guitar.

Wow! I can't believe I didn't see that. Embarassed Time either for an eye checkup (or a brain checkup).
