All right, here’s another with the same guitarist as in the above video---Jedd Hughes, wherein he talks about an album in my all-time Top 10, The Houston Kid by Rodney Crowell. He also speaks about Emmylou, as well as Buddy Miller, Albert Lee, and Richard Thompson, three of my favorite guitarists.

The Highway men ,talk about a group of artists with unbelievable talent in performance and sound writing. 

 

@slaw: Me too Steve, as well as a few of his with Rita, and her solo. I don't know why I didn't get into them back in the 70's, but better late than never.

I became acquainted with Billy Swan when we both lived in Sherman Oaks, CA. He served as Kris'es band leader/guitarist/harmony singer for years, and is pictured on the back of T Bone Burnett's Truth Decay album. He told me about seeing Elvis, Scotty, and Bill Black perform on the back of a flatbed truck in 1956. That was before D.J. Fontana had been hired to play drums with the trio. I was impressed. wink
