I don't know another guitarist who is as much FUN to listen to as Redd. Always full of surprises; and I love the way he mixes it up on the vocal phrasing too. Country with a jazz sensibility, so inventive and fresh. The steel player and other guitarist are no slouches either, and the rhythm section is right on the money. Great stuff.
It doesn't get much better than this! Especially love both of Redd's guitar solos - they both reference the melody, they both have twang, and they both contain the occasional surprise. This is how it's done.
Janne Haavisto - he's done some crazy stuff (like release a CD called Permanent Jet Lag), but those Finns know what they're doing when it comes to music.
@@pagophilus Finns know how to do a good many things! I know because I’m from dah UP. I was born smack dab in dah iron belt. I grew up with Finnish Americans. I have a Finnish American Uncle who is an MD. I had a Finnish American Economics Professor who taught me well. Even though I had his class 27 years ago, I still remember much! Yah to dah UP! Yah to dah Finnish people!!
I had ole Red on my first sessions in Hendersonville , an awesome player ! Played for Hank Jr. , Last time I saw him he was on stage at Skulls Rainbow Palace in Printers Alley ! This is Great Country Music ! Accept ni substitutes !
What a great surprise at 2 a.m. to find a song that stands on its own feet, sung and played by peeps that are worthy of it. Thx, I'm gonna start checkin' out more of yer stank!!
This is excellent. I follow roots music broadly. I know lotsa stuff about players and connections, and musical trivia, and I didn't know him! I am glad that now I do.
Real country music! Listen to the version on Redd's CD with Jimmy Murphy on steel.. smoking hot: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-azmvo90icYM.html
It's a travesty what has happened to Nashville and the garbage they call country music today. Redd is the last of a dying breed of musicians 2nd to none.
