Greg C.,

That's a great Paycheck cut (Pictures Can't Talk Back) that you posted. I didn't recognize it, but I just found it on a Paycheck CD that I have called "Shakin' The Blues" Johnny Paycheck AKA/Donny Young, on Bear Family. I'll have to relisten to that one!

Thanks,
Joe

Lloyd's playing from the same period can also be heard on Warner Mack's records. While they're not on the "Little Darlin" label, Lloyd's "Little Darlin" sounds are there, nonetheless, and I think a couple of those Warner Mack hits featuring Lloyd even predate Lloyd's early stuff w/Paycheck.

All I know is that whenever it was, it was some great sound. That particular sound is one of my favorites.

to revive a dead topic.. do we know who the guitar player was on these little darlin sessions... ? Im sure it was some different players for sure and I'm not sitting and listening to a bunch straight through right now...

But who were the guitar players in these Lloyd bands? I LOVE this band and anytime I have to learn a tune with Lloyd on it I'm stoked that I can rip off some phrases... he's just my favorite consistently.

Josh; it was mainly Pete Wade on guitar during that time.
