Every time I listen to a song with Buddy Emmons in it that becomes my new fav. But I love Rainbows all Over your Blues, and Witchita Lineman instrumental.

Here's an early Ricky Skaggs song called I'll Take the Blame. Straight ahead playing by Buddy and Albert on one of my all time favorite country songs. Buddy was featured a lot on at least one other cut on this album. Emmylou Harris on harmony vocals.

Ill Take The Blame

I really like his solo on "Sarah's Eyes" from the John Hartford album All in the Name of Love.

"John McLaughlin" from the John Hartford album "Nobody Knows What You Do". Love that entire album.

I love the Hillbilly Child solo as well
The solo on John Hartford's Gentle on My Mind still blows my mind.
I am also another Someday Soon fanatic (actually everything Buddy plays on that album is priceless.

Like everybody else, anything that Buddy did was great.
His jazz stuff blows me away.
But the song that impressed me the most was Danny Boy on the Black album. Taught me what could be done on the E9th neck besides the usual country licks.

Its a way to survive. Perhaps one of the most emotional solos I've ever heard or maybe I get that way when I hear it.

I'm always amazed by the emotion in the solo in Linda Ronstadt s "In My Reply " and the ethereal sound of "The Blade"..JS

"The Waltz You Saved For Me" on David Peterson's "Comin On Strong" CD. What taste, tone and feeling.

Listened to "We All Smell Good On Sunday" by Benny Martin last night on the way to my gig. Buddy just tears it up on that one.

Paul, Buddy and John Hughey all played on David Peterson's album, but it's definitely Buddy on "The Waltz You Saved for Me."


I'll add one more, out of hundreds of favorites:

"Please Help Me I'm Falling" from "Twang a Country Song" with Duane Eddy from 1963. There are beautiful Emmons solos on almost every track.

C#, I don't know who Wilt's fave girl was, but I know who Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin said was best. Its in Paul Anka's new book, "My Way".
