"Fantastic" may be underestimating this link.

[Daniel Policarpo]

that was a lot of fun. can't wait to hear that record.

[Mule Ferguson]

They played Fooling Around. on Willie's Roadhouse Thursday. I liked it so much I downloaded the CD from ITunes.

As soon as the local Wally World gets the CD, I'll get it.

One incorrect statement on Paul's guitar.

Paul Franklin used a Franklin double-neck pedal steel on Bakersfield. His father made the instrument out of formica

[Leo Melanson]

The interview inspired me to download the Bakersfield CD. It is loaded with great steel and guitar. Old classics done in Vince Gill's range with extended solos gives them a new fresh spin .. and are a pickers dream. PF really shines and is out front more than usual .. highly recommended listening.

Also the Benado PF Steel Dream looks like a great product. Reverb, Delay and Gain in one lightweight box setup for Steel. GAS GAS GAS

I was driving to the Office today and heard on satellite radio that someone had sent an email criticizing Charley Monk for playing the Vince and Paul collaboration. Also if I heard correctly the person felt Vince and Paul should play and record their own music and not make a big deal about covering others material.

I don't get it....what a great tribute CD. What great music.

Some people are never pleased

[David Gertschen]

This is also being released on vinyl for those who prefer it old school. Can't wait to get mine!

[Brett Day]

Paul Franklin is one of the musicians who made me want to play steel guitar and Vince has been one of my favorite artists for years. Both of those guys have inspired me to sing and play. Vince and Paul play with feeling, I would've loved to have been in the studio when they were recording the "Bakersfield" record. Listening to both guys in the studio would be awesome! The Franklin steel Paul played on the record is beautiful! I wonder if he still plays the chrome Franklin or is the guitar he uses now his main guitar

Dangit, I bought a down loader earlier before I saw that. The vinyl comes with an MP3 rip too. Ahh well, its a damn fine recording.

[Chuck Blake]

I agree Brett.....heck I wish I could master Paul's facial expressions

At least I could look the part....

Some people are just stupid...

The person who sent that email must not be familiar with country music. Country music is replete with references and tributes to other country music artists... you just gotta accept it. Look at the song "Luckenbach, Texas". The songwriter references Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson... and then those two recorded it, essentially paying tribute to themselves.

Hey Leo,

Thanks for posting that wonderful in depth interview. It's a gear head's delight! Them boys sure can play ;~)
