 New Product: Dobro Extravaganza - Backstage At IBMA 1995

A new DVD video is out titled Dobro Extravaganza - Backstage At IBMA 1995 by Tut Taylor. If you want top notch Dobro playing with excellent production, check out Tut's historic DVD. This footage was shot backstage at IBMA in 1995 to commemorate "The Great Dobro Sessions" Grammy Award. This DVD features eight of the original players, some are still with us. Others have gone on. All proceeds go to remodel his home to accomodate his wife after she suffered injuries after a fall.


The footage is a part of history gone by but, not forgotten. The players were preparing for the big honor of winning a Grammy Award from the production of "The Great Dobro Sessions" and for receiving two awards from the IBMA.

You will see:

  • Jerry playing his "Jones"
  • Mike playing his "Guernsey"
  • Gene playing his "Harlow"
  • Josh playing his reso, "Cliff"
  • Oswald playing "Herman"
  • Tut playing his "Tennessee"
Also featuring Sally Van Meter, Rob Ickes, and Gene Libbea. Curtis Burch and Stacy Philips had previous commitments, and were unable to attend. Also hanging out and picking is Del and Ronnie McCoury. Permission was granted from all the players to produce this historic DVD.

The 30 minute video tape was digitized, and the DVD created by Mark Taylor. The picture and sound quality is excellent.

The price is $25 plus $4 shipping. Check or money order will be fine. The DVD is only available from Tut Taylor.

All proceeds will go to the re-modeling of Tut and Lee's home. Lee was injured from a severe fall down the stairs in their home during a electrical failure where they were in total darkness.

Tut Taylor - The man who gave the flatpick a new voice...

It all began near the banks of the muddy Oconee River in Georgia about the time of the second World War. A young Tut Taylor, who didn't know any better, taught himself to play a dobro with a flatpick. The resulting sound was fresh and unique, and it became Tut's trademark. Folks called him the "flatpickin' dobro man". Through the years he became one of bluegrass music's most appreciated musicians for his contributions to the music, both on and off the stage.

Having recorded or performed for decades with many other legends in bluegrass and country music, Tut is a rich source of historical information and anecdotes on the formative years of Bluegrass music, the growth of the music industry in Nashville, and the people that made it happen. From his association with great musicians such as Norman Blake, Roland and Clarence White, John Hartford, and Vassar Clements, to playing in Roy Acuff's band on the last performance of the "Grand Ol' Opry" at the Ryman Auditorium, to opening doors for a young fiddler named Mark O'Connor on his first trip to Nashville, to his involvement with the Grammy-winning recording "The Great Dobro Sessions", Tut has been in the thick of bluegrass, old-time, and country music history for a long time.
