Buzz sat in on Guitar with my band about 8 years ago and he was incredible. He's like an encyclopedia of licks and chords. He knows thousands of them! You can bet I worked hard on steel that night!

That was Great! I've only heard Buzz once before but I will never forget it. It was in a little hotel bar in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and he was in a band backing up Thumb's Carlisle's daughter (I think) back in the late 70's. It was the dead of winter and he was amazing then and is still amazing! Thanks a bunch for posting that!

I never heard of Buzz Evans before this. That is absolutely wonderful! "Over the Rainbow" is just as great. Now my personal list of greatest steel players is one longer! And his guitar playing on "Yesterday" is equally great!
It's amazing that people are walking by behind him throughout, taking no notice! Ah, the musician's life...
When I watched these, I also got a link to Phil Baugh's guitar tour de force on "Shadow of Your Smile" from Austin City Limits, which I've always loved on the "Nashville Super Pickers" album. Anyone who hasn't heard that should definitely check it out as well (search for "Phil Baugh"). Once I actually had a chance to buy a guitar with the incredibly rare Pedal Pitch device that he's using, but I couldn't afford it at the time. Aaaargh!!!!!!!
Anybody want to buy a steel or a guitar??!!!<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Brint Hannay on 04 October 2006 at 08:13 AM.]</p></FONT><font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Brint Hannay on 04 October 2006 at 08:25 AM.]</p></FONT>

Thanks for introducing me to yet another pedal steel hero.

Accolades fall short of the real picture, in making attempts to describe the musical abilities of Buzz Evans. His musical prowess exceeds any stretch of the imagination. His faultless deliveries of note patterns, will unquestionably be marveled for years to come. His entertainment on steel or Spanish 6 string is doubly rewarding, as well as his commentary between performances. Buzz is a true enforcer of the good things. He is informative, helpful, and never overlooks small details. I like that in a musician.
