Yes, it's also called "Emmons Guitar Company", but everyone knows it as "THE Black Album". As for who has vinyl copies, maybe Scotty? The Emmons Co. sells CDs of it, I know...
Need I add that this is an absolute MUST HAVE in every steel guitar collection, bar none. But perhaps you knew that already... |

Thank's Jim..
I'm always amazed at the speed of response on this forum. I think I clocked you in at 45 sec. after I posted 
Mike Auldridge recommended the album highly.
So...I am his obedient student!
There may be a pop quiz next lesson!
Thanks

| If you're getting that one, you need to add "One for the road" also....and then there's "Minors Aoud" ....and so on, and so on.... |

| Howard, Go to www.BuddyEmmons.com and it is listed on his website. All purchases go through Ernie Renn but it looks like it is still available. Oh yeah, it is a classic just like the site says it is. |

The two album set recorded at the '77 ISGC is also an all time classic.
This set and the black album are considered by many to be his finest. I must agree. If you want yet one more, get his Christmas CD. Even though it is not that time a year, his playing is incredibly superb and tasty.
If you would like to hear what I believe to be his finest ever on back up, get Ray Price's late recording, "Time".
I have never heard Buddy get a better tone. Just love it.

| Carl, You are correct. The Christmas album is a great album. I have tried a time or two to play "Sleigh Ride" and that is a pretty tough tune to play. Buddy Emmons tone on that project is fantastic. I sure recommend it. I have read and I believe it was on his website where that project was the best planned he had ever recorded. |

| Mr. Dixon, it was with great pleasure I read your post about the "Time" album. I've also been saying that I think it's just about the best back up playing I've ever heard. Great minds think alike!!!! |

| Carl, You are absolutely correct. I picked up 2 of the Time CD's at our local Walmart some time ago.The big E is superb on this album and besides that ,one of my favorite singers,Ray Price is also on this album. |
