From The Bluegrass Blog:

Randy Kohrs’ record label, Left of Center Records, is soon to release a new resophonic guitar CD entitled, Hornography.

Hornography serves as a tribute to resophonic guitar luthier, Tim Scheerhorn. Kohrs is joined on the CD by an all star line up of Scheerhorn players.

The CD was recorded at Kohrs’ award winning studio, Slack Key Studio. Each track was produced by the featured musician, each of whom brought their own band to project. Spanning multiple genres, including classical, blues, jazz, and bluegrass, the CD is primarly instrumental (Kohrs contributes the only two vocal cuts) and revolves around instruments build the luthier whose name the project adopts.

Track 1 on the CD is Rob Ickes performing the Monroe classic, Wheel Hoss. Musicians on this cut include: Dave Pomeroy, Ron Block, Andy Leftwich, Adam Steffey, and Aaron McDaris.

Randy tells us the CD will be released before Christmas, and that he will have 200 advance copies available at the upcoming ResoSummit in mid-November.

Players featured on the CD are:

• Randy Kohrs
• Rob Ickes
• Andy Hall
• Justin Moses
• Todd Livingston
• Bruce Bouton
• Billy Cardine
• Scott Vestal – playing the only Scheerhorn banjo
• Mike Witcher
• Shannon Hayes – playing a rare Scheerhorn acoustic dreadnought guitar
• Lee Hiers
• Jimmy Ross
• Lou Wamp
• Sally Van Meter
• Jack Ferguson
• Tim Scheerhorn himself

A nice tip of the hat to Andy in the Wall Street Journal:

"The Sound of the Slide Guitar"
(Sugar Hill)

Bluegrass dobro has been so dominated by two players in particular, with Jerry Douglas of Union Station and Rob Ickes of Blue Highway winning Dobro Player of the Year 17 times between them (including Mr. Ickes again this year), that the emergence of Andy Hall of The Infamous Stringdusters with this Instrumental Album of the Year is of particular note. His playing is at once aggressive and fluid, and the tunes -- mainly originals -- are catchy. He trades off licks with Mr. Ickes on a number of tracks.

Congrats Andy!

Any one have a tab? Or can you suggest a CD with a version that a good dobro solo where I can pick up some ideas?

Thanks!
