I've been trying to find out when "Hello Trouble" was first released. Still not sure. The Buck Owen's official website lists many, many album and single releases.
But none of the records' info gives any indications of the year the song was first recorded. After about 5-6 album check-outs, I quit.
Jerry Brightman also was a Buckaroo from 1972-1975.
This is getting a bit complicated.
As far as my YouTube post of the version, I have to go with Bob Carlucci's assessment, too, and say that's Ralph Mooney playing. Sure sounds like him.

I always thought Buck's Hello Trouble was Tom Brumley. I think it was recorded later than the Mooney sessions. Notice I said "I think".
Sonny, the guitar John Jorgenson is playing is not a tele. It's a G & L ASAT, which are kind of like tele's on steroids. Very nice guitars.
John and Jay Dee together were a wonderful combination. To me they sounded like what Tom and Don would have sounded like if they had continued on for that many years. |

| "Hello Trouble" was recorded in 1964, exact date is given in the CD liner notes, but my CD is at work, and I'm at home. Liner notes say Tom Brumley played steel on that session...Jerry |

ah yes one of my favorite steel solos from my favorite steel player. Jaydee kills it. That first stuttering lick is pure awesome sauce.
Ive got both of Jaydees instructional dvds and they are both great. Those conversations with Jim Palenscar that make up alot of both dvds are chock full of some really great stuff. alot of it is still beyond my abilities but I keep going back to these and get something new every time i do. Thanks for making these Jaydee! |

Two things. That is classic Tom Brumley; the licks, the tone, the execution, it couldn't be anyone else.
Second, Jaydee Maness is one of the top five players in the world. In fact, with John Hughey & Hal Rugg passing, I'd put Jaydee in the top three with Buddy and Paul. I'm thinking of all the amazing cuts he's done going back to the Tony Booth days, the Byrds, Ray Stevens' Misty, and the Desert Rose stuff. He's still at the top of his game and is playing at a level few have ever attained, IMHO.

I agree with you Joe...  I believe Jaydee's tone, and style of playing has made him his "Own" man....He took the E9th tunning and put his own way of playing it.. and as a Person, there again, Great.... |

I defer to the guys that know better.. I thought that was recorded before TB started with Buck.. That is a very bright tone that I associated with Moons playing, but I agree with Joe, the AB pedal "bounce" is more like what Tom was doing back then... Those old Buck Owens recordings always confused me. Never could figure which steel player it was.. It was easier after Tom started using the ZB.. Little different tone that the Fender... In either case its still a Fender steel, and still the sound that launched a thousand [or more] steel players! bob

I guess I stand corrected, too.
The truth is what it is.
But still does not diminish my love for that version.
A lot of folks look at the A-B mash as 'oldish' style and basic; sophomoric.
But I think it's one of the great identifying sounds of the steel. When done right, well, "it's a good thing".
I never get tired of it. So what if it's 'basic'?
That's the beauty of it. IMHO, of course.

To Fish and others: I also love the sound of that particular record and many other Brumley cuts.
But,...
I talked with Tom Brumley about the discrepancy between his tone on the Live at Carnagie Hall record and his studio work with Buck, and he told me that he hated his tone on the Buck stuff. He said the Backersfield engineers cranked the treble to an extent that he couldn't fix from the amp.
IMHO my favorite Brumley tone was from the Carnagie Hall concert. |

| I wonder how Don Rich felt about HIS tone on the studio stuff? Talk about cranked treble! On the live stuff (Carnegie and Japan), he's got a lot more oomph. |

| JD rocks, I remember when drb came out with hello trouble and my band wanted to play it, It took me alot of seat time to get it down and that was after a lesson from Scott Landon my steel teacher. I love desert rose band music. |
