My guest this week is Jerry Douglas and we're celebrating the reissue of Boone Creek's first album.
Boone Creek has a fascinating story behind it, which we covered in last week's interview with Scott Billington, who put together the reissue for Craft Recordings.
In this episode I chat with Jerry about the place Boone Creek had in his career, his memories of the original sessions and what the band were trying to achieve, what it was like to hear the lost tracks for the first time in 50 years and how playing in Boone Creek helped shape the musician he is today.
As always, Jerry was warm, funny, generous and full of fascinating insights. It's always a treat when I get to chat with him.
You can buy Boone Creek from Craft Recordings on vinyl, CD or digital download
