Big Time showcases the prodigious talents as a musician, composer, arranger and bandleader of Dobroist extraordinaire Rob Ickes. A stunning collection of both driving bluegrass breakdowns and soulful instrumental ballads, Big Time has the timeless feel of classic American acoustic roots music. With tasteful musical support from Blue Highway bandmates Tim Stafford, Jason Burleson, Shawn Lane and Wayne Taylor, plus bassist Derek Jones, Ickes demonstrates why he is 6 time IBMA Dobro Player of the Year - Big Time. 'Congratulations on your new album! I listened to it and every track is a superb example of your tremendous talent as a Dobro player and a master musician. I knew from the first concert you worked with me that you had an extraordinary style, and I have enjoyed so much having you play in the band. You have a very bright and shining future ahead and I am sure we will be hearing more great music from you.' -Earl Scruggs
