19 years ago this week, on October 15, 1993, Jerry Douglas teamed up with Russ Barenberg and Edgar Meyer to collaborate on what would be one of the most influential Americana albums of their time: "Skip, Hop, and Wobble." Entirely instrumental, entirely enjoyable, the tracks on this CD run the
gamut of musical expression from the humorous play of "Why Don't You Go
Back to the Woods" to the slow, beautiful "Hymn to Ordinary Motion."
The liner notes discuss the creative process around each song, as well
as the group's union, and the challenges and rewards of playing as a
trio. Sam Bush does a couple of very nice guest spots on mandolin. If you are tired of
the musical simplicity and inane lyrics of much of today's music, this
CD cleanses the palate.
Get the album from iTunes here or from Amazon here. Enjoy!
I I would like permission to use Big Sciota from Skip Hop and Wobble as background music in an amateur student film creation. The video will be entered in a local competition. There is no monetary award, nor intent to advance to other venues.
