The Steel Guitar Forum

I believe the name of that song is....Sawmill. I think it was written
by Mel Tillis.

I think Kay Adams did it in the sixties.
I don't know if anybody else had ever done
the song before her though.

I just got the new Dale Watson CD "Live in London". If you like your country REAL then this is the CD for you. Great singing, great songs, great steel by Ricky Davis, this one has it all. This one is up there with "Live at Carnegie Hall", "Waylon Live", "Okie from ...

Jason, check out www.cdwolf.com. He has the
Ray Price box set for $169.00 plus shipping.
I got the Connie smith box set(lots of steel here) and the Don Gibson 1960-1966 box set for $66.00 each from there.

Gary, Yes, The liner notes say he used the name Donnie Young to make to few recordings that didn't do much before he took the name Johnny Paycheck(from a Chicago wrestler, I think). Jason, I'll email you some jpegs from the notes. They are pretty informative. They were written by Daniel Cooper of th...

Jason, Do you know when the Buckaroos or at least Don Rich(unless he had a guitar playing twin) backed up Johnny Paycheck? I have the "Real Mr. Heartache" CD and it has an inset picture on one of the pages with a guitar player over Johnny's left shoulder that looks exactly like Don. I thou...

John, I may not like James Taylor's music because: 1. I AM tone deaf. maybe 2. I HAVE a short attention span. maybe 3. I AM NOT an aged folkie, with a comb-over and a ponytail, who can only stand music that is about as edgy as a marshmallow. definitely! Janice, CMP (www.countrymusicpeople.com) is an...

Yesterday I picked up the lastest issue of Country Music People(an excellent British magazine) in which I read that one Mr.Trevor Dann(head of BBC radio and a recent recipient of a special CMA award for contributions to country music) said that it was time for the country label to go. "The west...

Mike,

The way you describe Shania's show, it almost sounds like a Barney the dinosaur concert. Hot pink versus hot purple. Thousands of kids. Songs only a child could
love.

Paul, The song is called "Keys in the Mailbox" and it was written by Harlan Howard. I think the popular version might be Freddie Hart and that's gotta be Buck Owens singing harmony. The CD "Buck Owens sings Harlan Howard" has a version on it. Buck's version has Ralph Mooney all o...

Since the year is almost over I thought it time to start a list of the best music I bought this year. This is a list of stuff I got this year, but the CD's may have come out earlier. I only buy the real stuff so don't expect to see any Garth Shmucks, Shania, Faith etc. Here they are in no particular...

Country Music magazine has an interview with Mr. Haggard this month. Here is one excerpt: CM: How do you feel about not being played on country radio these days? MH: They say the won't play my records the same time they play Shania Twain's? I'm glad because I don't want anyone mixing me up with that...
