How about this for a three piece group!

[Don Brown, Sr.]

I came across this by accident, There is no steel in it, but!!! Give a good listen to it. Actually play it a couple of times.

There is no bass, simply three guys putting down one hell of a good level sound, played as it should be.

Also listen to the Intro.. Sounds nearly like, well you be the judge on this one.

Thanks for sharing that with us!!!Three country boys doing a down home country song!! Takes me back to my back porch days. And that lead guitar sounds a bit like a steel kickoff!!

Paul, as far as I can tell, they may be out of Austin TX..

You can probably find more of them by clicking on the right side of the You Tube screen or, you can also type in the name of the group.

Leigh, yes! That's the reason I posted it. After the initial kick off, listen to the rest of that intro, and it sounds (fastastic tone) a whole lot like much the same as you'd hear in many of the original "Hank Williams" songs.. I was more taken by that sound and tone, and the fact that simply being a live recording with probably nothing more than a camcorder, how the total sound, and the great lead work. Nothing over done, and played extremely well.

My hats off to them on that song, for a job well done. And, to hear a lead player play the backup, as it should be. I've got to admit, that I could feel myself coming in on steel, after his part..

Thanks, and glad you both liked it. I did. The sound I first heard from the lead, really captured the sound of the no pedal steel back in time, during that intro.

That's my old friend John Reed on guitar. He's from Lubbock and has been living in Austin for years and years. He played with Doug Sahm for many moons and currently plays with The Lucky Tomblin Band alongside Redd Volkert, Earle Pool Ball, and Cindy Cashdollar among others. In case you didn't get the outfits, whenever the Nortons play they all dress up like Ed Norton from The Honeymooners.

Rick, Will sure does look like Norton..

Thanks for the added info. My style of lead playing. Down to earth, and home grown..

It brought back memories of years gone past, when we had "Wayne Louis" playing lead. He'd also at times, take a relaxed postured position on his amp.
