Wow !!! Buddy made that song magical ! After he made one of his runs, Ray's face broke out in a grin at the way Buddy fit all that picking in and brought in in on a perfect meter. I love this.
There's bad-ass Bobby Caldwell sitting behind Buddy. What a guitarist he was! He played with everyone who appeared at Scotty's International Steel Convention.
Are there any steel players today that play single note solos in the way Buddy did? Lots of great steel players but non on my radar that do it quite like this
If it wasn't for Buddy Emmons _gladly well to the fore_ I guess I wouldn't be seduced to even lookin' or listenin' to this kind of MOR 'country' The man really was one of the best.
Yeh Def a superb steel player Def one of the best in his era but the jazz thing does nothing for me as it all started off from Hawaiian lap steel progressing to western swing /country with the help of buddy and show Jackson inventing the levers and pedals for this most complicated of one of the worlds most diverse instruments a big hand to these guys 👏and god bless them 🙏 I've been trying to learn to play this insane instrument for 9 years wth the help and support from the Scottish gartosh psg group club meetings and a big thanks to these golden oldies great bunch of guys
Absolutely the best player to grace the steel guitar. Buddy was the whole package. Jazz, Country, Blues and even Rock. He set the standard that has yet to be topped. Seen him several times at steel shows. Always a class act.
Sounds like Billy Eilish used this melody in her song "Happier than Ever"ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YEbz2Qt3vec.htmlsi=iSq2litXritHwNJy
