Douglas, Jerry
Jerry Douglas is the reason that I go to festivals like the Old Settler's. I can't count the number of albums and CDs that I own that include Jerry. He has played everybody, but I've seen or heard him with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Bela Fleck, Alison Krauss and on the classic movie soundtrack "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". I don't know how many times that he's been a guest artist with someone featured on the Austin City Limits stage. Douglas has received thirteen Grammy Awards and has won the Country Music Association's 'Musician of the Year' award three times, in 2002, 2005 and 2007. In 2004, the National Endowment for the Arts awarded Douglas a National Heritage Fellowship. Douglas was named Artist in Residence for the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2008. Douglas was honored at the 36th annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado for his twenty-fifth consecutive year playing in and at the festival. The Americana Music Association honored Jerry Douglas with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. Simply, he's just the best resonator guitar and lap steel player on the planet, ever.
