"Transatlantic Sessions Series 4, Vol. 3," released in October 2010 on Whirlie Records, documents the final volume of the fourth series of the landmark BBC Scotland and RTÉ television production that brings together leading folk, bluegrass, and country musicians from Scotland, Ireland, and North America in intimate session-style recordings. Co-directed by Shetland fiddle master Aly Bain and dobro player Jerry Douglas, Vol. 3 features an eclectic array of guests including Dan Tyminski, James Taylor, Rosanne Cash, Karan Casey, Karen Matheson, Julie Fowlis, and Dónal Lunny. The Transatlantic Sessions, inaugurated in 1995, have been among the most sustained artistic bridges between Celtic and American roots traditions; Series 4 represented the broadest commercial and stylistic reach the project had yet attempted.
