Rising like a morning mist, “Going to Fortingal” begins the song cycle for The Set as the opening cut on the recent release from Jerry Douglas. It is the first album release from the 16xGrammy winner, offering five new cuts and six re-worked tracks from his long career. Of the recording, Jerry Douglas feels that he is ‘proud of it. I’ve left no stone unturned. I’ve been producing records for a long time, so I really, really put on that hat for this record. Usually, I like instrumentalists to have free rein in whatever they do. It’s the way they speak. If anybody had an idea, we chased it down to the end. I feel like it’s really finished. I’m really happy with the outcome of this whole experience’. Sonically, the music drifts over The Set, floating on the soft breeze from an open window, its notes drifting and darting around the arrangements. Her voice becoming one of the instruments. Aoife O’Donovan lends vocals to “What Might Have Been”. Standing behind his dobro, Jerry Douglas offers a cover of The Beatles “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” while, taken from a track on his Traveler album, Jerry reimagines “Something You Got”, a track originally recorded with Eric Clapton. The tale of “Loyston” sings of a flood as chopped notes deal out an opening for “The Fifth Season” while “Sir Ally B” picks out a sadness in its somber delivery and “From Ankara to Ismir” travels its length with the players trading lead and riffs like seasoned-sportsmen. The Set is a beautifully, meticulously considered group of songs, offered by a master-musician.
