Orange Blossom Special Bluegrass Dobro

Greg Booth plays the fiddle classic on the dobro. The dobro is a 2009 Scheerhorn L Body in curly maple. The tuning is EBDGBD, standard G tuning with the low G dropped to E.

[@spiritwalker6153]

This is the sort of music that puts a smile on my face even without my first cup of coffee. Great playing.

[@RolandJones559]

Orange Blossom Special never sounded so good. Man! That's some great picking!

[@tedmcclaren9335]

I also play a dobro I wonder what tuning you are using.

[@hilaryt9808]

This is ALMOST 10 years old and I always go back to it. Its amazing!

[@aksliderdobro]

I taught this to a student at Sore Fingers in the UK last week, I can still play it!

That has to be the cleanest playing on a Dobro I've ever hear! Great job and thank you for sharing!

[@Mr67bandit67]

Fantastic! I can listen to this all day.

[@Putsupwnothing]

Holy crap!! I'd love to see this man -play live at my house! I still have goose bumps!!

[@rajeevelkunchwar]

Goosebumps in the end. What a way to play arpeggios

[@BlackAmpeg]

I'm willing to bet a month's pay that this will be the most awesome thing I'll see all week.

[@vikingmike8139]

Greg Booth 'knocks it out of the park' so to speak on this one. Tremendous player indeed. Cheers!

[@claudeedgarruest6212]

Listen to that on a hard day is bringing light back. Simply.TY Greg.

[@sallytaylor5493]

This guy is great. I had never heard "Orange Blossom Special" played on anything but a fiddle. How impressive!

[@doughesson]

Sally Taylor Doc Severens of Johnny Carson show fame had played it with his trumpet.

[@BarefootMomLady]

Johnny Cash played it on harmonica on the Folsom Prison album. Well, two harmonicas to be specific.

[@jamesmayo4060]

I saw a gentleman play the organ blossom special. He had his feet and 3 keyboards busy. Played by ear and was awesome.

[@picknngrinn]

Absolutely wonderful! ....and so clear and useful! ...just can't thank you enough for posting this.

It doesn't really get any better than this. The dobro and the bro who played it, Greg Booth, are classic masterpieces. Just keep doing it.

[@cheycasters]

As its said, "Thats some mighty fine a pickin there boy" !!!!

[@originalpopeye1]

WOW, I was uncertain of how it would sound. I love the resonator, I am looking into getting a metal body one. This is an amazing technical playing of the Orange Blossom Special. Compares to Rachelle Plas Orange Blossom Special but she plays on set of harmonicas. Thank you for sharing your talent. I wish I could hear a dub of you two playing it.

[@dalewalker9540]

Every time I listen to this, I'm just as thrilled as I was the first time. You've go to be my favorite dobro player of all time. I love your style and smoothness. Awesome arrangements.

[@udderworldly]

People like you, with your talent, are a gift to the rest of us. So beautiful. Thank you

I can feel the train chugging down the railroad with plumes of smoke above when I listen to this lol

[@5-stringslinger149]

Nice use of those bass strings! That dobro sounds so mighty nice.

[@JongleurJ10]

Sounds great. Looks effortless. And importantly, it's very clear - so I can follow it and don't lose my place listening!

I watch this at least once a week. Then I watch one of your other vids, Greg. I'm a metal guy, never been into bluegrass, but you are just awesome. Thanks for turning me on to a new genre.

This version really kicks some heine! One of the best versions EVER!! Totally digging it. What a craftsman.

[@crestadude4139]

Stunning, I would cut my feet off with a rusty saw to be able to play like this, I am paralysed below the waste so I suppose that's cheating. LOL

[@hughmongasass3773]

I will teach you for free, it is way easier than it looks.

Actually you're paralyzed below the *waist

[@crestadude4139]

@@BrianMusic12 all below the waist is wasted a shitty mess tbh but you just get used to the smell after a few years. I would swap two legs and one arm for a working bowel. Who cares about walking if you shit yourself every day and don't know it until the pong alerts your nose that it is time to leave the building. Spinal injuries suck.

Thanks for the listening pleasure and thanks for doing your bit to keep real music alive and kicking!

[@milkandquackers1]

Unbelievable!!!! When my 42 yo son was eight, he played this on fiddle with Chub Wise. Chub claimed the song-with this performance you own it!! I am over 70 now with a new Beard Gold Tone PBSM and have played around for 18 months. Gift from my sweetheart and the next thing she wants is for me to spend time with the best. Can I come by for a week with 3-5 hours a day and what would you charge.? Humor an old man

[@davidstewart4149]

This is really impressive. (Who gives this kind of performance a thumbs-down??) Beautiful playing!

Thanks, and greetings to you from Alaska! It's a long commute, but I play dobro and banjo with the Kathy Kallick Band based in the SF Bay area. We are coming to the Chicago area April 12-15. Our newest cd, Time, is in the top 10 on the Bluegrass Unlimited chart, mainly on the strength of Kathy's singing and brilliant songwriting!
