1) The original "Will the Circle be Unbroken" album by the Nitty Gritty
Dirt Band. Lots of Oswald Kirby solos.
2) "The Devil's Slide" by Bob Brozman. Neither country nor bluegrass;
mostly blues/jazz
3) "Making Movies" by Dire Straits. No dobro on this, but some good slide
stuff that might be translated to dobro
4) Some of the Carter Family's really old recordings in whch Maybelle plays
lap guitar, including the original recording of "Foggy Mountain Top"
5) "Slinding on the Frets", an anthology of old-time Hawaiian stuff.
Especially noteworthy are Oscar Wood's "Don't Sell It - Don't Give It
Away" and Truett & George's "Ghost Dance".
6) "Calcutta Slide-Guitar" by Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya. Maybe a
little overly exotic, but the guy can really play.

Subject: [RESOGUIT-L] Albums that give great dobro
Went to the music store today to get an album with some good dobro solos on
it to work on. The problem is I'm not conversant enough with mainstream
bluegrass enough to know what album to get. I have all the Jerry Douglas,
Rob Ickes, Seldom Scene, Mike Auldridge stuff. But most BG albums that I
looked at did not list personal.
So tell me: what are some of the great bluegrass albums out there that do
NOT feature the triumvirate (Jerry, Mike, and Rob) but are still great with
lots of steelable and stealable licks (please avoid Dobro only albums - got
Dobro sessions, got Philabuster).
