A friend of mine asked me, and I'm darned if I know the answer, so I figured I'd ask you guys, and direct him to this thread.

It's a tie between Lloyd Green's Farewell Party and Jay Dee Maness' Misty. That does it for me anyway.

Three nominations from my perspective:

John Hughey: Lost in the Feeling
" " Look at Us
" " Sweet Memories

Is "Rainbows All Over Your Blues" country enough? Buddy Emmons playing a sweet, swinging tune by John Sebastian, that's the one that does it for me....

Ha, you should have fun with this one. "WTS", Buddy, "Whiskey River", Weldon, "Just Destroyed the World", Twitty/Hughey, "Ain't No Chains", Bush/Overbey, "Oh Lonesome Me", N Sinatra/Buddy, "I'll Come Runnin'", Weldon, "Waltz Across You Know What", Tubb/Charleton,"Home in In San Antone", Bush/Buddy and Curly. Narrowing it down any further would be an exercise in futility; nothing new for me.

Lost in the Feeling and Farewell Party, for me.

Sounds simple but hard to duplicate.

Lloyd Greens Midnight Silence and Triad, hard to pick just one.

Jim Bob Sedgwick · Post by **Jim Bob Sedgwick** » 24 Dec 2011 7:14 am

For me it was the interaction between the fiddles and Jimmy Day on Ray Price's 24th Hour. Impossible to name the best, whatever that is.

Jim Smith · Post by **Jim Smith** » 24 Dec 2011 7:28 am

I always liked Buddy's solo on the Judy Collins version of "Someday Soon".

J. R. McClung · Post by **J. R. McClung** » 24 Dec 2011 7:29 am

Anything by Ralph Mooney or Maurice Anderson.

Paul King · Post by **Paul King** » 24 Dec 2011 8:02 am

"Look At Us" which John Hughey played on. Another Hughey solo is "Lost In The Feeling". More upbeat song would be Weldon Myrick on the Johnny Bush version of "Whiskey River". You talk about hot licks that solo has them.

Jay Hudson · Post by **Jay Hudson** » 24 Dec 2011 8:48 am

Hard to pick just one but John Hughey's "Look At Us" comes to mind.

Mike Bowles · Post by **Mike Bowles** » 24 Dec 2011 8:54 am

john widgren · Post by **john widgren** » 24 Dec 2011 10:09 am

For me its an emotional response.

- Look at us...Hughey
