Bud Isaacs with Chet Atkins - Full LP
A Session with Chet Atkins is a true classic. It features Chet's great 50s Gretsch sound through his new Ray Butts Ecosonic amp with excellent non-pedal steel from Bud Isaacs who was soon to ignite a pedal steel revolution with his sound on Webb Pierce's recording of Slowly. I'm not hearing any pedals on this one. The full record is here.

Doh! I have this one but hadn't listened to it in a long time so assumed non-pedal. Just remember Doug, to err is human, to forgive Bovine.

I bought this album used at a flea market back in the 1980s and later transferred it to CD. I seem to have lost it over the years, so it's nice to hear it again on YouTube! Great picking, live and real in studio, lots of energy. I especially like Chet's early stuff like this. His playing was so much more exciting and his sound was more raw and alive than his later albums. Good stuff!

Thanks for posting I had forgotten that this album also featured the legendary Dale Potter on fiddle whose playing to me, certainly stands the test of time.

The same poster has about 4 more of Chet's early records up on the Tube.

There is a nice story about this quote from the time after WWII when we still had National Service (conscription) in the UK.Andy Volk wrote:Doh! I have this one but hadn't listened to it in a long time so assumed non-pedal. Just remember Doug, to err is human, to forgive Bovine.
A platoon of very unmilitary recruits was being put through its paces on the drill square by the Company Sgt Major accompanied by the Platoon Sgt. One recruit turned the wrong way and received an earful of coarse invective from the Sgt Major, when a very cultured voice from the middle of the platoon said "To err is human, Sir".
"Who said that?" snapped the Sgt Major.
"Alexander Pope, Sir".
Whereupon the Sgt shouted, "I've got his name Sir!"
