Dave Roe on Dwight Yoakam, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Jerry Reed 

Sadly, Dave Roe passed away this weekend. I put together this compilation of clips from an interview I did with him last year in hopes that more people might see this and remember him. He was a cornerstone in the Nashville music community. He helped and encouraged a generation of players in Nashville and beyond and is sorely missed. I put this thing together as fast as I could and I accidentally left out this clip.All apologies. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2BzdNCxayfw.html

RIP Dave Roe. He had some awesome stories to tell.

J. Cash in my opinion, from stories i have heard, put honesty as his highest value..the honesty of others, toward him, or just their honesty in-general. This man told him the truth, plain & simple. Johnny Cash respected that. He gave him the chance to prove he could be in his band. It changed this guy’s life.

Otis, thank you for putting together this memorial. Dave was one or a kind and a great dude! Rest in Peace Dave!

Just saw that Dave passed.. man, that's sad. I worked on his upright when he passed through Reno, a couple of times. He d I loved cigars, and well, he comped me in to see Johnny at The Nugget. Johhny Cash- was literally larger than life... and couldn't have been nicer to me. Dave was a great bassist, and man, what a nice guy he was. Rest In Peace, Dave.

Dave Roe , a sweet guy and stories forever and played with the greats. God bless and hope you are playing with the greats up there.

We've lost another musical legend and hero. He also spot on about the private jet thing. We played in SanFrancisco to Nashville in about 3 hours. The jet service called us the night before and asked what we would like to eat. Filets and shrimp cocktail. Ice cold beer. Ground crew unloaded our gear. First class! The next week imback ti being a bluegrass diesel breather.....glamor and grits. Thanks Otis love and prayers to Dave's family and friends.

Love the Cash story.

I am absolutely fascinated by all of these stories about some of my favorite artist that I have listened to for decades.

OH NO!!!! Man...what a great human being. He will be sorely missed. RIP Dave Roe!

Dang he was a good bass player! I hope he's playing with Cash & Reed having a good time.

RIP Dave Roe I really enjoyed listening to your stories, I’m so glad I had the chance to see you play with Dwight.

I love hearing great stories from old timers like this - could do it all day.

Thank you, Otis, for the replay. RIP Dave, 🙏 you will be remembered

R.I.P. Dave. His Jerry Reed stories are something I’ll never forget

RIP Mr. Roe. Such humility with talent is appreciated.

all of these videos are solid gold ...thanks Otis !

RIP Dave Roe. love love the storys

Thank you Otis, I enjoyed the Dave Roe interview when you first posted it.

Thanks, Otis! God bless Dave Roe. A true country gentleman. He will be missed.

A sincere thanks to you, Otis, for capturing all of these artists' stories and memories before they leave us. And rest peacefully Dave Roe.

I absolutely loved this interview, he explains everything about this business, playing is the smallest part. It’s all about the moments of time spent with your comrades. Thank you and rest easy Dave.

I never make it through long one on one interviews. But I did for this one. Rest well Dave.

thank you for turning me on to Dave Rowe. r.i.p.

A great loss... RIP, Dave Roe.

Thank you Otis. what a humble guy. RIP Dave Roe.

Oh man sorry to hear about his passing.

Man. what a great guy. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. Such an incredible story.

Thanks for all the music Dave. Great life and a great man . Youll be missed . Thanks for posting these Otis. R.I.P Dave Roe

he was a great singer, too. Loved him singin harmony and backup touring with Johnny Cash back in the 90s in Germany

Hey Otis, thanks for making this. Dave was backing up my musical heroes for most of my life and hearing him tell his story brings these people to life for me. I have to say, I’m not disappointed. RIP Dave and thanks for all the great music.

Man this is a great interview.

Bummer man. Sorry to hear he passed away It was good to revisit your interviews. Thanks for bringing his story to the front of the bandstand.

What a legacy he left behind. Thanks for capturing these great stories Otis. Your work is amazing and so needed.

Great work Otis, high from Orygun

One of the most impressive things about these artists that Otis interviews is how generous they are with praise for everyone they worked with. I was acquainted with some of the folks that Dave, Kenny Vaughan, Jon Dee Graham, etc. talk about. They are/were really difficult people but none of those dudes have an unkind word to say.

I have several PA’s that I‘ve gathering over the past 25-30 years. I still have an old Peavey 4 channel, 200W system with massive (heavy) 15” speakers. I really don’t use it much at all anymore but it still works! A buddy gave it to me when his wife threatened to leave him if he didn’t get rid of a ton of equipment. RIP, Dave… “Ol’ Scooter” in East Texas…

Thank you for honoring him. I could listen to him all day. Safe travels.

This is fantastic. Thank you, RIP Mr. Roe.

Once again I’ll say that so many great musicians are great fans of the music. They know what it’s supposed to sound like and know the role they play.

Sorry to hear about your Friend. Thanks for introducing us to Dave thru this Channel ☮️💯

Got to read Chris Scruggs tribute to Dave Roe. What he did for him and so many starting out young Nashville musicians Thank you Otis.

Didn't know he passed till the end of this vid....thank you for making this compilation - he was a great story teller.

RIP A great artist and human beings.

Thanks for the tribute to Dave Roe. I watched these videos when you first put them out, but he has so many great stories, I wanted to hear them again. He certainly had a great career and an interesting life.

Otis... How sad and what a great loss... I am just shocked... Thank YOU for capturing the magic that you did... What a wonderful man...

One whose show lured me in. Saw him in Georgia 15 years ago, long before the here and now.

love these interviews, and the stories behind the acts and performers. great stuff. my condolences re dave roe.

So sad RIP, my condolences to his friends and family. A loss for us all

RIP, Mr. Roe. Thank you for sharing your experiences with Otis, and us.

Dave was The Upright Slap Bass Player, for all of the wanna-Be, Slap Bass Players! This is like comparing the Eddy Shavers ..there was Only One! I hate learning Dave is gone. And speaking of Eddy, Otis..give us some Eddy tales, there should be Plenty. Thank you brother, much love.

That was great Otis, I'm going to listen to Dave's playing w/ Jerry Reed now. Again, great post!

Sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. Saw Dave several times with Don Kelley at Roberts’s on lower Broadway.

Dave had a wonderful history and was one of the best. We will miss him. Heaven has a hell of a band! RIP.

Thanks for this. I've never grown tired of hearing Dave's stories. Hearing them again now... takes me back. I'll miss him.

Thank you for this. I have seen videos of him with Don Kelley but never heard any interviews. What a fantastic and talented player. Incredible stories.

Chops. Total chops. ❤

Otis, you outdone yourself by posting this interview w/ Dave Roe (RIP). Prob the best real talk about the music world available. TY!

Another great piece of history.

I think I'll miss you most of all, Scarecrow... Thank you for your friendship Dave, and for the greatest compliment I ever received as a musician. I'm so happy I got to remind you of that gig before you left. Peace to all your family and friends. And thank you, Otis.

Wow! Caught me off guard. He had some great stories. RIP Dave

So many great stories from another great player who spent plenty of time in the trenches...

Thank You Otis

I'm in the middle of this video, decided to google-research him for a minute and found out he just died that way. Thanks for the tribute, and for my introduction to an interesting musician. Quite the story-teller.

Wow,didnt know he passed till the end of the video.Seemed real healthy in this clip.Sad. My favorite Otis interview.

RIP Dave Roe. I was just watching you with the man in black himself playing live on a few TV shows. How sad.

I am saddened to hear of his passing. Thanks for sharing this

I was loving these stories and i just looked down to the notes ... damn, man what a great guy, someone you'd like to know. RIP Dave

That was great.

I remember this.

Jerry Reed and band Austin City limits 1982. Yes sir just went and watched it for my first time. That is an amazing band! Serious musicians. There is just nothing like that out there anymore that I am aware of. Thanks.

Wauw I really enjoyed watching this....did not know he passed till the end of the video...what sad to hear. As a 40 year long bass player, this was a great story from a great bassplayer. r.i.p. Dave Roe

What an incredible man!! Great interview

So glad I got to see this. Love the man.

Unbelievable stories and memories... Thanks Otis. Sad to hear we've lost Dave.

If I had to rank them, and they’re all great, I would say the Dave Roe interview is on of the best.

Wow such a great interview..rip sir.

Great stuff Otis...thanks a lot and RIP Dave!

Brian Farmer ended up being Warren Haynes & Allen Woody's guitar tech in Govt Mule. Sadly Brian past away in his sleep August 24, 2014. RIP Dave Roe & Brian Farmer

An awesome human . Very sad to lose him . An entire library has disappeared from us.

Ironically, we lost Keith Gattis recently too! RIP Dave

Bless you for this Otis.

Great video of all his interview segments. Thanks for sharing! DD…

Man, thank you for capturing all of these stories! Seriously.

That was all beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Being an amateur bass player for well over 30 years myself. I need to just play and practice more. This made me want to. I’ve got an upright and acoustic and electric. And a bunch of other instruments. But I can’t play them all at once. R.I.P.

RIP Mr. Roe , and comfort and peace to his loved ones and friends. This was a fantastic interview/video-Thank you Otis, Be well.

Definitely worth several listens !

RIP Dave. Great interview Otis.

Best interview you've hosted...loved it

Thank you Otis.

Brian Farmers story about Dave Rowe getting him the gig as Cash's guitar tech is hilarious.

A powerhouse interview. Thanks so much for reposting it. Love the Clarence White reference. RIP Mr. Roe.

Dave was a true “journeyman” RIP mr Roe !!!!
