The Three Bells, the long-awaited "dobro trio" CD by Mike Auldridge, Jerry Douglas & Rob Ickes is available now!

Rob and Jerry's will be interviewed tomorrow morning on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday.

The album is also featured in this month's issues of Acoustic Guitar and Guitar Player magazines on stands now.

... a meeting of three dobro masters... The interplay and understanding between the three musicians is a treat to experience."
-Country Music People Magazine (UK)
Mike Auldridge on Three Bells :

We've recorded a lot of songs that I had only hoped I could record, songs that are part of my history and love affair with the dobro."

Creating this album with Mike Auldridge was truly a labor of love. I know that Jerry and I will forever treasure the experience, and I am thrilled to be able to share the results with you. Mike's playing on this album is truly sublime, and I hope you'll agree that Three Bells will forever be an important part of Mike's rich legacy."
~Rob Ickes

"Mike played as good as I have ever heard him play, and he was the most gung-ho of the three of us. And that enthusiasm drove Rob and me to raise our own bars to keep up with him."
~Jerry Douglas
