b'Virtuosic mandolin and clarinet player Andy Statman recently released his first album in five years. It\'s called Old Brooklyn, and it includes collaborations with a number of top-notch musicians, including B\\xe9la Fleck and Paul Shaffer. Perhaps most unusual, though, is the track titled \\u201cThe Lord Will Provide.\\u201d The song is an 18th-century hymn, and this beautifully spare version is a collaboration between Statman, an Orthodox Jew, and country music star Ricky Skaggs, an evangelical Christian. Independent radio producer Stephanie Coleman wondered how this collaboration came about. Here\'s the story, as told to Coleman by Statman and Skaggs. [Running time: 10:20.]
