I "second" the motion! JODY and SPEEDY were the best of the great swing steel players of that era. We've lost Speedy, but we still have the King of Tweed and we love the guy!!! Yes, it's a great and timeless l.p.

"Classic" Steelguitar music from a classy guy!!

I still can't figure out how Jody did some of those licks and is still doing.

Speed, dexterity, tone, soul to the bone, it's all there on Hot Club of America.

To think he was doing this music and technique in 1958 is mind boggling!! 8) What a treat for both non-pedllers and PSG Steelers alike! TX

It's Easy

Post by Jody Carver »

Whe you have three of the finest musicians to work with as I did
It's a piece of cake, sometimes I had to swallow hard, but thanks to Johnny Augie and George. It was so easy.

Thank you for your compliments, I wished Johnny and the boys were here to see this. We NEVER imagined anything like this would happen when we recorded back in July of 1958.
