Edgar Meyer is a bassist's bassist, a composer of some note and a collaborator with artists ranging from Yo-Yo Ma and Joshua Bell to Bela Fleck and Jerry Douglas. He could've had any of them on his new album, but instead, he did it all himself, playing instruments from the baroque viola de gamba to the country dobro. It's a fantasy of country and classical music and it's our CD of the Month for May.
