My yee-haw factor is running a little bit higher than usual today. I closed my eyes and grabbed this CD on the way out to work this morning.


The Texan Women thing is probably Joey's fault... the Telecaster obsession is another foxhunt altogether.

Someone' conjured me from the ether . . . . .

Lee Ann is a shore-nuff Texas Woman, from just outside Waco in Jacksonville, TX.  The song I'M posting is the sort of thing that got her signed.  She went through the 'artist develpment' period, which is how you get 'I Hope You Dance', which now makes her cringe almost as bad as me, except I don't think she wants to stick sharp pencils in her eyes like I do when it comes on .  .  .

So, here's 'Say Never Again, Again' from the same project as 'Buckaroo'.  I made lots of money playing tunes just like this in Texas.  Saturday night, wooden dance floor big enough for two Prevosts, starched, pegged Wranglers, fresh straw cowboy hats, Lone Stars and Tacos al Carbone.  THIS is what 'country music' is SUPPOSED to sound like, by all that's holy, with pedal steel and fiddle.  A classic shuffle arrangement, I was always a sucker for those unison changes with the 1-1#-2 walkups and the 4-3-3 flat-2 walkdowns.  I could eat this stuff with a spoon and so does Lee Ann.  She survived her 'major record deal' and is once again making great records on her own terms. 


Texas.  It's like a whole 'nother country !

Thanks, Joey - that there is some real, honest-to-Hank, country music!

While we’re thinking about Texas, and pedal steel - how about Charlie Pride “So Afraid If Losing You Again”. I think this probably predates Ronnie Miller, from Dallas, on steel, but anyway...

Hankster, that would be the great Lloyd Greene on steel, paired with Charley originally by the late producer Jack Clement.  LG and Cp were an enduring partnership, two very smooth gents musically.  Another recording/performing 'Nashville Cat' who appeared on hundreds of cuts.

Here's LG and another favorite of mine, Jay Dee Maness, taking turns on The Byrds' 'Hickory Wind'.  LG is playing is his sig model Emmons LDG single neck, relatively simple by steel guitar standards, E9 single neck with the pad where the C6 neck would go, with only 4 pedals and a few levers.  For outsiders to country music, pedal steel is analogous to Hammond organ in a rock band:  Big background pads and fills, and proper solos or fills as required.

I utterly love playing with a good steel, and have been fortunate to have done so more than once.  They're fiendishly difficult to play well and in tune, and are a cuckoo clock mechanically.  The master Buddy Emmons got so frustrated early on, he put it down for two years to play bass, then went back.  No wonder !

Use both feet, both hands, and even your knees to play one of them wretched things. But there isn't much substitute for one. Can't believe I never thought about it before, but Joey dinged it - pedal steel is the B3 of the Country Band World.

Ha. I figured it was probably Lloyd but wasn’t sure. I love a steel too - my brother is a steel player and I’ve spent some time at the Texas Steel Guitar Association annual jamboree with him and hung out with a number of great steel players, Jay Dee among them. He’s been one of my favourites since the Byrds used him on Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Great stuff. Thanks Joey for that piece.

Just found out about Doreen Ketchen.
She understands music and shares it very well.
