My guest this week is the legendary Jerry Douglas.

Jerry joins me again to chat about recording his first new album in six years. It's called 'The Set' and features the band Jerry's been playing with for a decade now.

He talks about what's special about playing with that band and why he chose to re-visit some tunes that will be familiar to his fans for this record, as well as new material, including 'The Fifth Season', which started out as a FreshGrass commission.

We also chat about some of Jerry's other long standing collaborations, including Transatlantic Sessions, the Telluride House Band and Alison Krauss and Union Station. Jerry reveals AKUS have not one but two new albums recorded.

'The Set' is out on September 20th. You'll find all the info and links to preorder on Jerry website

For info and updates on all Jerry's projects, make sure to follow him on Facebook and Instagram

It's always a joy chatting to Jerry. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
Happy picking,
Matt
