Who played steel with Chet

Been listening to a Chet album on the Russian site called "String Dustin". Sounds like a pretty sure thing it was Jerry Byrd. He's there on every song. Also a hot mandolin player. Gotta be Homer. Anyone confirm this?

I'll betcha meant Jethro Burns on the mandolin, who was Homer's partner.

That's a great site for Chet fans. http://freddie.spb.ru/
I listened to several cuts and it does sound
like Jerry or a good imitator,,,,,,maybe
Billy Robinson?

Roy,
It's got to be Jerry or Billy. I think I'll go with Jerry. Probably wrong on that to. To be honest I couldn't remember who played mandolin, Jethro or Homer.
Mr. Schubert.............Hi neighbor. Just noticed you're from Columbia.

It IS......"JERRY BYRD" and no other.

I should have been much more specific in my above comments. I was referring to the STRING DUSTIN' album that was being discussed and not the entire list of albums that Chet made.[This message was edited by Ray Montee on 29 October 2004 at 11:12 AM.][This message was edited by Ray Montee on 01 November 2004 at 09:08 AM.]

I have several transcriptions of the old 2 guitars radio show w/Jerry. Also an LP with Bud Isaacs using pedals only when it really helped the song. Great!! CC

I have a bunch of Chet albums and the only one with steel would be "A Session With Chet Atkins" which featured Bud Issacs on steel. There's a great cut of "Caravan" on this where Bud does a hot ride....JH

Go here to hear killer steel with Chet. Weldon I think. Go to the Hometown Guitar L.P. and Click on Huntin Boots. http://freddie.spb.ru/

Jazz from the Hills by Chet Atkins also has Jerry Byrd and the other Country All Stars on it.

Didn't Bobbe Seymour play with Chet Atkins on the road in the late 1960s? What about the Chet Atkins albums of the era?

Roy Thomson · Post by **Roy Thomson** » 1 Nov 2004 4:49 pm

Weldon did the Superpickers Album.
I remember the photo of all the musicians
on the cover of the LP.
