John Hiatt and Jerry Douglas
Episode 170: They're both Nashville icons but they'd rarely worked together until now. John Hiatt is a songwriter's songwriter with a voice that's made him a roots music star. Jerry Douglas is the most in-demand dobro player in the world. Both are recipients of Americana Lifetime Achievement Awards. When the idea to record together was hatched, Jerry brought his ace band to RCA Studio B where he and John crafted a gorgeous set of songs under the title Leftover Feelings. When the chance came up to sit down around a table with these amazing artists (and former String guests by the way), it was a no-brainer.
