I don't think it's Lloyd...maybe Ralph Mooney ??

Wynn Stewart and Ralph Mooney.

I know now that I'm wrong. I looked it up. But I won't tell.

If it's not Tommy or Wynn - is it Skeets Macdonald w/Ralph Mooney?

Could it possibly be the steel player that was on "It's a Pretty World Today?" - can't remember his name.

One thing for sure: it's a perfect recording.

It's definetly sounding like Wynn Stewart singing and Ra;ph Mooney on steel and was he the steel player on It's Such A Pretty World?

My guess is Bobby Austin with Ralph Mooney on steel. Sounds like James Burton on guitar to me.

I could be wrong - but I remember it wasn't Mooney on "It's a Pretty World Today." I will look it up for sure tomorrow. Something's telling me it's the "Pretty World Today" steel player on this song. This is all conjecture and, once again, I could be flat wrong. Going to listen to the song again.

Wow, that's a lot of responses and many good ones. Dave's got it right, it is Bobby Austin singing (sounding quite a bit like Wynn Stewart) and, of course with Ralph Mooney on steel.

Kind Regards, Walter

Yes, to me Bobby sounded very Wynn Stewart-ish but I could tell it wasn't Wynn. I was sure that was the Moon on steel. Was I correct about James Burton on guitar?

Mooney always sounds like today. You hear at lot of blues in his picking and the blues never goes out of style. How many musicians can you say were one of the main founders of a whole new style of music? (Bakersfield - West Coast) This is one of his best rides.

And FWIW, Bobby Austin and Johnny Paycheck wrote one of my favorite songs of all time -- Apartment #9. (I heard from what I think is a pretty reliable source that Bobby Austin pretty much wrote Apt. #9 and Paycheck kind of stuck his name on there. Anybody know if that is true?)

Dave, I'm not sure about James Burton - this is one of the albums w/o any information about the musicians and/or time and place of recording. Maybe somebody else knows?

Kind Regards, Walter

Walter, Is it on Challange or Capitol? It sounds about 1961. Dave - right now we're thinking they wouldn't have used James that early. Maybe - Gene Breeden or even Roy Nichols? We put a call into Breeden.

Robert, the album is from 1967 and on Capitol but that does not really say a lot when the song was recorded.

Kind Regards, Walter

Walter, One more question: What's the name of the LP.
Thanks again for posting this song.

Walter Stettner · Post by **Walter Stettner** » 1 Nov 2010 11:38 am

The title is "Apartment #9" (Capitol T 2773).

Kind Regards, Walter
