| Randy, I just heard "Cry" on Steelguitarradio.com. Just wondering what cd and female vocalist that was AND, which guitar you were playing. Great tone. Thanks |

Steven, thanks for your comments and interest. Laney Hicks is the singer and yes, she upstaged me in a big way!  I did manage to get her to let me do a turnaround in the middle. (32 bars)
The guitar is the first Hybrid model guitar from Zumsteel. A rosewood D-10 with Truetone pickups. The amp was a Music Man HD-150 with a 15" JBL. The name of the CD is "A Few Of My Favorite Things."
Thanks again. |

| The entire CD is killer. Randy is a master at getting fat, sweet chords and phrases out of a steel guitar. The C6 sounds he gets from the E9 tuning are amazing. |

It's a terrific album and has been in my play rotation since the day I bought it.
Highly recommended - everyone should hear it. Mandatory. State law.

| I love the way that Randy can get the C6th sound on the E9th neck. The 1st time I heard him play, I had to check out which neck he was playing on. |

| I have not heard the version of "Cry" that you guys are talking about. However, a good while ago I was at Ray Walker's house in Smithfield, NC. He had quite a few recordings of Randy's. Of course, Randy's playing blows me away! Also, I heard a recording of what I think is the prettiest female voice that I have ever heard. I asked Ray who the woman was on the recording, and he told me, Laney Hicks. I could never get tired of listening to this woman sing. God has been good to her!!! |
