Thanks for the heads up on that one Ken. Great playing!! The fiddler wasn't shabby either. :D

Short answer to your question...no. I doesn't get any better than that.

Got to be Gregg Galbraith on guitar. He's @ :52 and a double chorus @ 2:45.

Here's another Galbraith ride that will sound familiar: @1:32

A lot of Buddy's attack, IMHO, can be traced back to early Joaquin Murphy.

Love those instrumental versions

Youtube search: Buddy Emmons: Rose Colored Glasses, I just Destroyed the World, Same Ole Me, I Love You So Much It Hurts. I love these and want to find more like them.

Absolutely fantastic fills, rides, and T-O-N-E !

+ the bar crash at 1:09, hammer-ons at 2:20, and what sounds like an hammer-on at 3:39 that the producer probably should've omitted.

Anyone know what album this cut is included on ?
I always need more examples of Emmons pure genius ! !

There was,
is,
and will only ever be,

one "Big E"

Ron, What I think is happening at 3:39 is that BE is raking from low to high across muted strings with his thumb up to an unmuted string. One of so many cool bluesy things he does that I dig so much.

Does anyone know the album this cut is part of ?

It's off of a Step One album.......... Hall of Fame series.......... Clinton Gregory and Rob Hajacos on fiddle.......Jimmy Capps and Pete Wade on guitar. Buddy was playing MCI guitars back then. Some of the best music ever produced IMHO. http://www.allmusic.com/album/step-one- ... 0000097562
