Well, Theresa is obviously biased... and so am I.

How about Norm Hamlet and Redd Volkert -- Live at Billy Bob's TX is the best recorded example I've heard.

They have a destinct advantage in that their lead vocalist is pretty good.

Oh Ron, They are great aren't they. But what about Norm and Roy Nichols. Then there's Brumley and Rich.

Ahhh, another Sunday morning recuperating from slaving over a hot guitar and the World's Worst Bass Player.

Got the Texas Troubadours on Live 365 and a shot of 12th Street Rag by Leon and Almost To Tulsa by Buddy Charleton should be all the therapy I need to recover.

And yes Jack; without a doubt they were the BEST ROAD BAND ever. I can just see folks at Cain's Ballroom and all the other honky tonks, jitterbuggin' to their music. It was in a class all to itself and set a standard for the others. They were the hottest thing at the time !! Image Image Image

Regards, Paul

I just dug out an old Troubador Album w/ Charleton & Leon, played it through my Bose system, Unbelievable! Included a couple ballads by Cal Smith & Jack Greene, The tone BC was getting THEN was the best ever anywhere! I hear Lloyd went back to his old Sho-Bud for the obvious reason! I remember another Buddy that used to get that tone! kr
