Hey Cameron, one of my favorites is an early Rodney Crowell album, "Diamonds & Dirt."

There are only 1,738 credits to choose from...

My favorites are the George Strait stuff from the 1980’s, the Vince Gill stuff from the 90’s, Dire Straits/ On Every Street & On The Night, the Notting Hillbillies thing with Mark Knopfler, and the New Nashville Cats álbum from 1991.

You really can’t go wrong with any of the albums he has been on, and he keeps doing more. It’s already an amazing legacy for him and the instrument, and now he’s doing the instructional method too. When does the guy sleep??

Thanks for the reply, my favorite album I’m listening too right now is Wesley Dennis. I like Paul’s version of Borrowed Angel!

Didn’t Paul have an early instrumental album? “Just pickin” maybe? I remember one cut was “song for Sarah “ maybe...

Yes Bill he did. My favorite of Paul's work is Play by Play, which is not at all country.

He also had “ acoustic “. Seems like it was spelled differently but the cd was one side steel guitar and the other Ped-a-bro instrumentals. Really good cd.
