John Hughey w/ Dickey Betts
Another thread about John made me think of this piece.
John, Vassar Clements, Chuck Leavel on piano and Dickey on guitar. 14 and a half minutes of fun stuff.

Here is a link from a while back on this subject. Totally agree, one of the best albums around.

Me too. This record blew me away. Wasn't playing PSG yet but rather the dobro when it came out. I think I learned as much about PSG backup as bebopping a lead Tx to Hughey. John was a monster on the 6th neck but I recall him telling me don't let a Nashville producer see you playing it. I'll bet that's the reason he became a master at getting that 6th sound on the 9th neck. - ie listen to Vince Gille's "I'll Take Texas"

i can't count the times i heard a new tune on the radio and the steel sound, as mike said, made me smile and it turned out to be john playing.
as for john's c6...oklahoma borderline with vince on some tv presentation..maybe austin city limits..just kills me with the joy that comes through! it was the last tune and it goes on and on. talk about smiling!
and you've got to give vince credit...my favorite killer guitat player...he was smiling so hard he was laughing.

I am another who bought this album when it came out. Dickie Betts is one of the most melodic guitarists that I have heard. His solos have always been very tuneful. When I saw John's photo on the back of the album cover at my local record store, I bought it straight away. This is one great album, and I will get a hold of a CD of it if I can.
