Ricky Nelson's version with none other than James Burton playing some tasty country formations of "A", "D" and "E7"

To prove she was a real Texas girl, she, tele virtuoso Jim Campilongo, and company put together an act named after the red headed stranger, The Little Willies....just to prove they were the real deal.

Who knew so many jazz forumites were closet shit kickers..?

Love to hear Norah Jones sing. Didn't know about The Little Willies---that's a hot act!

There was some sort of Playboys reunion on TV in the 80s where Shamblin takes at least one outrageous solo. I've tried to find it since but haven't. Willie Nelson and George Strait came out and did a tune or two. Willie did Milk Cow.

that'd be cool, i haven't seen that one. post it if you find it. the willie version of milkcow i have the band is basically copying eldon's arrangement.

i know this one with eldon and benny garcia. pretty tasty. and you can hear eldon's comping pretty well.

Another example--he sings the theme to "True Grit" and then the guitar solo… I don't like the tone, but the solo has some truly great ideas.

Don't leave out Jimmy Bryant!

A taste of Eldon Shamblin and Herb Ellis doing "There Will Never Be Another You"

**lawson-stone** · 01-08-2016, 11:50 PM

And one of a Herb Ellis' last albums was "Texas Swing"

Interestingly, "My Bucket's Got a Hole in It" is credited to Clarence Williams, an early jazz and blues pianist, composer, and A&R man, though Williams may not have written it. Williams played with Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, and many others.

It is on of a number of country classics that were originally African-American.

Tom Russell writes some fantastic lyrics with great storytelling.

This is a time capsule tune. A pairing of two of the most important figures in American music. The father of modern country music and the father of the jazz solo.

A little late to this party, but here's a few.

What good country singing can sound like.

I love the Glen Campbell version of Ain't No Sunshine--surprising tone from that goofy guitar. IMO, like Jerry Garcia, he had poor taste in guitars. He should have stuck with Teles and archies.

Now for a few Lucinda clips featuring (I think) Stuart Mathis:

And a Lucinda song played by Blake Mills, one of the most interesting guitarists out there--I saw him with Lucinda a few years ago, will see him solo in April opening for Mumford and Sons:

Who can forget the Joe Pass / Roy Clark project doing Hank Williams tunes? Here's "Cold, Cold Heart"

**MarkRhodes** · 01-09-2016, 11:32 AM

"Spaghetti Western Swing"----

**mrcee** · 01-09-2016, 01:15 PM

Glen Campbell was a ferocious talent, even from his Wrecking Crew credentials alone.

seriously, can you just imagine soloing, and the guy who is feeding you the chords is JOE PASS! Wowsers!

**MarkRhodes** · 01-09-2016, 02:50 PM

Some Scotty Anderson---man, can this guy tear it up!

**MarkRhodes** · 01-09-2016, 02:51 PM

Scotty in a jazzier vein

**klk** · 01-11-2016, 02:12 PM

for folks with some jazz background, one of the real sweet spots in country music is guitar comping with texas fiddle. jerry thomasson's tenor playing behind his dad, benny,was a revelation to me way back in the 70s when we were passing around bootleg cassettes of the weiser reunion.

voyager has it available on CD now, but none of it is up on yootoob. but here's is some of jerry's comping behind a couple fiddlers that aren't his dad.

**mrcee** · 01-11-2016, 03:37 PM

Sometimes 4 strings is all you need. I knew a bass player that used to kid 5 and 6 string players with 'what do you have all those strings for? You only need 3.'

How do you think that tenor guitar is tuned? I think there's more than one way.
