Hal Rugg?

I am thinking Hal Rugg or Weldon Myrick.

Sorry paul, i really don't hear Weldon in there. Hal. Maybe. I bet this turns out to be a "not well known" player.

I think that is undeniabley Hal Rugg. A lot oh his signature licks, especially that fast run.

Just a wild, guess, but, perhaps it's Billy Mize? He was a steeler as well as a singer.

For me that is Hal Rugg, I hear lots of his licks.

Kind Regrads, Walter

SONNY GARRISH

Good Picking... who ever it is...

Paul King · Post by **Paul King** » 7 Dec 2013 8:18 am

I too thought Billy might have done his own work. My number one choice is Hal Rugg but I just am not positive. The more I hear it the fast runs just do not sound like Weldons speed picking.

IMO, this sounds like Jay Dee.

Marco Schouten · Post by **Marco Schouten** » 7 Dec 2013 8:37 am

My best guess would be Hal Rugg. Unfortunately it wasn't ..... me.

Sounds like Hal to me too. Could possibly be Sonny, but I don't think I could bet on that. The fast licks sound like it could be Weldon, but the rest is Hal's tone and style. I would really be shocked if it was Jay Dee.

Here's another vote for Hal Rugg. Similar "Emmonsy" tone, and many of the hot licks sound like his "one pedal, two finger, two string song" speed-picking exercise played at warp speed. Don't think it sounds like Billy Mize. Cool song though, and thanks for posting it.

Ivan say almost 100percent, this is Hal. No one could copy that close. Plus that is the way he played during that era

A bump to the top to see who played steel on this project.

If it ain't Hal Rugg it is someone that has studied him for a long time - I will go with Hal.

If Billy Mize could play steel like that he would be known as a steel player not a singer . I think its Hal Rugg .

Rich Peterson · Post by **Rich Peterson** » 11 Dec 2013 8:03 pm

Billy Mize was part of the Bakersfield Sound, and wouldn't have recorded in Nashville, so I doubt itis Hal Rugg. Mize, Chalker or Brumley?

Ivan Posa · Post by **Ivan Posa** » 11 Dec 2013 11:32 pm

If its not Hal Rugg, I would wager a buck on Curley Chalker.

Charles Curtis · Post by **Charles Curtis** » 12 Dec 2013 6:03 am

I was just doing some surfing on Billy, and apparently he received a steel guitar on his 18th birthday. It would be great if anyone has this album and can name the steel player.

Jerry Foster · Post by **Jerry Foster** » 12 Dec 2013 10:11 am

it has to be Hal Rugg. Jerry F.

Paul King · Post by **Paul King** » 17 Dec 2013 3:23 am

A bump to the top. Anyone know how to find out the credits on this project and who this is playing steel?

Peter Freiberger · Post by **Peter Freiberger** » 17 Dec 2013 6:57 am

Praguefrank's site says it was Hal Rugg or Duane Becker on steel/dobro. Sounds like Hal Rugg to me.
