Jerry Douglas has won over 14 Grammy Awards, and has been an important part of roots music for decades. He’s been a member of so many important bands from J.D. Crowe’s New South, Country Gentlemen, Strength In Numbers, and Alison Krauss & Union Station. He’s also formed his own bluegrass band, Earls of Leicester.

Lookout For Hope is one of Jerry Douglas most acclaimed records that highlights his vast musical palate in the roots of American music. The album features some of the most fantastic musicians in that realm as well with Barry Bales (bass), Bryan Sutton (guitar), Sam Bush (mandolin), Stuart Duncan (fiddle) and Larry Atamanuik (drums) serving as the backing band on most of the record. There are many fantastic highlights on this record such as Douglas’ solo Dobro rendition of the Duane Allman classic, “Little Martha”, the beautiful “Footsteps Fall” with Maura O’Connell on vocals, and the over 10 minute long title track which has Trey Anastasio of Phish on guitar. Other songs such as “Cave Bop” and “The Wild Rumpus” have became fan favorites in Douglas’ catalogue that he still frequently plays live today.
