This episode features multi-instrumentalist, sideman, band leader Al Perkins.  From the Flying Burrito Brothers to Manassas, the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band and beyond Al has left an indelible mark on roots-Americana/rock n' roll from 1970 to the present. 

The Gibson guitar company called Perkins "the world's most influential dobro player" and began producing an "Al Perkins Signature" Dobro in 2001—designed and autographed by Perkins.

Al covers all parts of his style and technique in a clear-eyed, humble and thoughtful discussion with Ed Pettersen
