it would be wise for us to support Gary !

I watched Gary play many times in 81 at the old Gabes that was a local hangout for a lot of notable steelers and really everybody back then and he was the best of them all that I heard back then. His playing was so very soulful and great tone. This was when Chuck Bartlett was a regular there and I seen times when they had four steelers playing at the same time there. I need this CD!

Gabe's was great times back then Off Trinity lane Just out of the way enough to be a hideaway happing club.ya never knew who would pop in. After GC CB Wayne Kincaid and Billy Johnson were there nightly and you could pop into Reel Country (Smiley Roberts) up the street too.

Frank Parish · Post by **Frank Parish** » 4 Jul 2013 6:53 am

Yep Real Country has been gone a long time. Gabes is still there but not the club it was back then. I had the chance to buy the place but was in the middle of a divorce at the time so that wasn't the time to be buying something like that! I live about ten minutes from there in Inglewood and it's now owned by a former cop that has a band there but way too loud for me to sit in the place. Not the level of entertainment it was back then but if I had it I'd try my best to bring it back to that level.

Got mine today. Gary sure knows how to squeeze every last drop of emotion out of a song. Is the picture on the front cover a reverse image?

Sid Hudson · Post by **Sid Hudson** » 5 Jul 2013 5:32 pm

Yes Roger it is reversed.

I picked up on that last week and sent him a text message. He was devastated. He hadn’t noticed.

I told him “ everyone is going to think you are a lefty brah!”

I got mine the other day and I can't put it down!! I loaded it into my iPod and listened to it while mowing grass and riding my motorcycle and I literally just play it over and over and over! Gary's tone, presentation, dynamics and most of all "feeling" is the best I think I've ever heard. Each time I listen to a song I pick up something new. And yes... I'll man up and admit it... Shenandoah can bring tears to my eyes. Where I was really surprised is that we share the same appreciation of songs. I had chosen 3 of the same songs for my own lead guitar CD project a few years ago. I think Gary is one of the top players out there right now.

Very fast order/delivery..Ordered mine on Tuesday..it arrived Friday..never even noticed the front cover reversed..doesn't matter..this a great CD..Gary's execution ,tone and song selection is top shelf...

I did some tracks for a local artists regional release..he sent me the CD and asked me what I thought well after the release....I told him the tracks , songs, etc were really good...but I asked him why the liner notes say ...

" Tony Prior Peele Steele Guitar "...

his comment was .. "'WHAT" !!! And this was the second batch ordered !

It happens, it shouldn't, but it does...

so now..the big joke in my family is I play
PEELE STEELE Guitar...

No different than many here on this forum that play
Peddle Steel Guitars..!

Tony Prior · Post by **Tony Prior** » 6 Jul 2013 1:47 am

One thing I would like to know from Gary... Who are the players on the sessions other than Marty on a song or two... I'm a liner notes freak ! I need to know this stuff..

Roger Crawford · Post by **Roger Crawford** » 6 Jul 2013 3:57 am

And what pups are in the Zum?

dlayne · Post by **dlayne** » 6 Jul 2013 5:55 am

Just ordered mine!!!

Daniel McKee · Post by **Daniel McKee** » 6 Jul 2013 11:33 am

I know they didnt mean to have that reversed image but think about that old Shot Jackson album that had an image reversed on its cover.I have always thought that made it unique.Gary is a great player I have gotta get me a copy of that new cd.I know its gonna be awesome.

David Mason · Post by **David Mason** » 7 Jul 2013 3:07 am

David Mason · Post by **David Mason** » 11 Jul 2013 2:04 am

Just got mine, it's one of the least flashy and most heartfelt steel CD's I've heard. I had pretty much stopped buying these, because the "perennial sideman" response to freedom is often to play all the notes all at once, on every song, and act like they don't like country and are a Harlem bebopper deep down inside - Mr. Carter knows who he is, and makes every note count. Never a cheap shot or showoff choice.

I was surprised about no liner notes or musician credits - usually a "sideman" is meticulous about that. I'm sure I could research it if needed, but, I shouldn't have to.

David Mason · Post by **David Mason** » 11 Jul 2013 3:00 pm

So, I e-mailed Gary and he provided this list of musicians:

Danny Parks: Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Mando, Fiddle
Jason Roller: Fiddle, Banjo, Mando and Acoustic
Jimmy Carter: Bass
Drums: Brian Fuller
Gary Smith: Piano and Keys
Dane Bryant: Piano

Nashville's crawling with them, huh?
