The Steel Guitar Forum

Just wanted to let everybody know that Dottie will have her new CD "Texan In A Stetson" with her in St. Louis! We worked hard on this one and it is awesome! Our second Yellow Rose Studio project. It's Country to the bone and we were honored to have guest steelers Lynn Owsley and Ralph Mooney on it! It was a blast having those two guys here at the studio at the same time.

Also some killer steel work by Randy Reinhard. Dottie's niece Jade Michelle Jack is also featured on fiddle on a couple of songs and she did a great job! Outstanding harmony vocals by Dottie's sister Joni Rae Jack! They sound SO good together. And the usual great studio work by Jim Loessberg on drums, Randy on steel and piano, and Jake Hooker on upright bass.

Two songs feature our friend and Country music legend Johnny Bush on vocals as well. JB & Dottie sound great together.

It's a great album and I know it will be thoroughly enjoyed. If you want to purchase this one online send an e-mail order to: jackmusic@sbcglobal.net

Bobby is far too modest!He did fine guitar work on this project and he did his normal fine fiddle work as well as backup vocals.
(Uuuuhh, Bobby, do I hear the goats on a track or two?} We all had a great time with this project.

No Fred,.... those are the ROOSTERS!! Thanks for the kind words amigo. What a pleasure to work with all of you on this one. Go Dottie!

Dottie does for a fact sing her brass off. Best of luck on your new CD, Dottie. Love ya gal, Jody.

Congrats Dottie!!! I am so anxious to get my copy in St. Louis, I have only heard one cut off the CD,"Texan in a Stetson" Dottie sent it to me about 2 weeks ago, and asked "What do you think"??? WOW!!! is what I think.

My hats to Bobby Flores for putting this wonderful project together, anything you do sounds Great My Friend!!!, and to my 2 Great Friends, Ralph Mooney and Lynn Owsley I can't wait to hear what you played!!!

I'm excited about this release also...I was honored and very pleased to be a small part of something so good. I have listened to my pre-production copy many times and I am happy that now in Saint Louis I can get a real copy,I can't wait to read Ralph Mooney's liner notes!
Dottie and Bobby Flores completed a mighty fine project with this one, and working on it was fun...
Maybe we can re-create some of this at the Derby Room this week end,and we will have a purty good drummer as Johnny Bush has been seen with his stick bag already....

I had the honor and pleasure of mastering this record, and I gotta tell you it is superb! REAL country music from a great singer and and all-star lineup of players! Congrats to Dottie. Bobby, Lynn, Ralph, and the whole crew!

Stetson Hats off to Dottie and Bobby for a top notch job of performing and putting together this project. Laney and I and the Beavers listened to it after breakfast this morning and everything about it is just super (even L.O. ).

Dottie gave me a copy at ISGC and I listened to it on the way to Columbia MO this morning. I am VERY impressed with this CD, I listened to it twice on the trip.

As usual, the Hill Country Hosses did their legendary thing, augmented by Lynn, Ralph, and Dottie's sister Joni (Texas Jamboree attendees have seen Joni perform many times with Moon).

Great stuff!

I played steel for Dottie in St. Louis and we did a few cuts off of the new CD. Dottie is indeed a stellar performer, and she has voice qualities second to none. Her new CD is indeed one of the best of the best, and this one is a "must have" for any musician.

It was indeed a pleasure working with Dottie in St. Louis this year, and I'm looking forward to doing it again in the future.

Great work with the CD and also from Danny and the band in the Jefferson Room. Who dug up that old Hag song, "Love and Honor". I'd forgotten all about that one right up to the point where Dottie and the gals hit that chorus, "I'll bet love and honor never crossed your mind..."

It was nice meeting Dottie and hearing her sing songs from the CD.

First Class all the way! Vocals, Musicians, Production, Studio quality, everything is just great.

I want to say a big "THANKS" to all of you for the kind words regarding my new cd. This project was very special to me and you all have been so encouraging!

Danny, thanks so much for inviting me to sing with your group in the Jefferson Room. It was great and I enjoyed working with all of you.

Ron, your response to Love and Honor was one of the things I was looking for when I went "diggin" for material! Thanks

I enjoyed seeing old friends and making new this week-end. What a great bunch you all are!

Dotty I'm anxus to hear from you.

What's funny I came to hear Danny play and found myself listening to Dottie more than Danny. Sorry Danny...Dottie's just a great singer.
later Terry

WOW....all of the above plus beautiful.

I loved every song on that cd. The harmony was superb. The band was super and I'm really proud that Jade got to be a part of it too. Dottie will have to go some to out do that one . Them Texas players can git'er done for sure.

Listened to Dottie's CD on the way home from St. Louis, and believe me, it is absolutely fantastic!!! Congrats., Dottie!!

Hey Terry, I can relate to that. Now you know how Russ Hicks feels when Laney takes the stage.

Dottie in concert at the I.S.G.C.

I was the lucky guy who shot the photo's and Dottie is a fine singer and a nice gal..
Danny and Barry and the gals in the band did a bang up job...Those Mullen guitars sounded sweet.

Bud
