Listening to the wildly overcompressed (in a great way) guitar part on Harold Jenkins "boogie grass band" and wondering who played it? It sounds like something Jerry Reed would play... but I don't imagine it was ol Jerry.

Anybody know? Thanks for guesses! Huge thanks if you KNOW!

I was told that Charlie Archer(Conway's guitar player)played on that record...you may know Charlie as Loretta Lynn's steel player...Charlie is a great musician and a great guy!

This was an underrated song, IMHO.

I am guessing (and, I know its' not too tough a guess) Reggie.

He is credited on later albums and the compressed chicken tele twin harmonized lead break was a specialty of his...

Album was released in '78, the year Reggie was voted superpicker of the year, in Nashville...

I'll check when I get home. I'll have to dig out the vinyl jacket.

I just talked to someone who was with the Twitty bunch at that time...he confirmed that it was indeed Charlie Archer...and that he was told as much by the Chief himself(Conway).
