I completely agree—Josh was the best Dobro player ever!
I’d highly recommend this great CD to Uncle Josh fans, featuring Buddy Emmons and some other amazing players and singers…
Sultan of Slide -- Josh Graves

*********************************************************************************************
5-Star Amazon Review:
Sultan of Slide is easily the best thing "Josh" Graves has ever done. His playing has not diminished any since I first heard him 50 years ago; if anything, his playing is more soulful. This album is not strictly bluegrass; it has drums, steel guitar, electric lead guitar and piano on some of some of the cuts. He is ably backed up by some of the finest instrumentalists and singers in the business; Buddy Emmons on pedal steel and Vassar Clements and Glen Duncan on fiddle, and Jerry Douglas on Dobro, and The Whites, Marty Stuart, Porter Wagoner, Johnny Russell, and Delbert McClinton on vocals.
The tune selection is outstanding, running the gamut from son Billy Troy's version of the Jimmie Rodgers classic "Carolina Sunshine Girl", Johnnie and Jack's "Down South in New Orleans" (with vocal by an exuberant Delbert McClinton), Leon McAuliffe's "Panhandle Rag" with Vassar Clements and Buddy Emmons, to Johnny Russell's "Someday I'll Sober Up" - I love this mix of tunes, it shows his versatility and musicianship to great effect.
This is a great album, both for those of us who are long-time "Josh" fans and those who may have just discovered him. Highly recommended.

I read somewhere that most of the CD was recorded in one weekend, and Josh kept everyone in stitches throughout!!
