 One of the reasons I'm not very interesting in playing with a band is because I don't want to just be a sound effects machine doing "darryls" and "whirlybirds". Dugmore seems to have a good attitude about it.  |

| I saw a YouTube video of a Lloyd Green interview that someone posted on here a little while ago and he didn't have such a casual attitude about what some producers expected from him. With his age and success, I suppose Lloyd Green can turn down any job he doesn't feel like too. |

| A few years ago I was playing on a session for Buddy Holly's brother Larry. He ask if I could make it sound more like a mandolin I had a Elvis impersonator ask me, your not going to play that thing on my set are you? I said, I hope not!! |

My attitude improves the more I'm getting paid.

Dan is the modern day Pete Drake I think. Not the technical chops and complexity of others greats maybe but he surely has a gift for playing tasty stuff in all the right places on recordings and I guess that he is paid well for that! Pick up a Rick Trevino CD, "In My Dreams" from a few years ago. Dan and Kenny Vaughn make the album.

| I produced some song writer demos for a friend in Nashville a few years ago. The session leader booked Dan for the steel parts. He did a great job and brought a cool vibe to the session… Your right Bill, he is the Pete Drake of today.. You can't beat simple but very musical… Really nice fellow too.. |

Very funny video!
Dan has quite the resume', some people might not know that he played in James Taylor's band for years as well as Linda Ronstadt's.
His playing may not be busy but it's always right for the song, and it's always what you don't play that as important as what you do play.
Dan also bought his first steel from Sneaky Pete.

| I refer to his solo on Blue Bayou as an example of economical perfection. Nothing there that isn't needed. |

Joe Nicholl's 'Brokenheartsville' was another big single with Dan on steel. He has the knack of playing something that'll become a signature steel part.
Anyone who's had the James Taylor gig has my respect.

| Dan's played on a lot of great records. I'm a huge fan of his steel work on Gary Allan's "Smoke Rings In The Dark" record. I could tell the steel on that record was a Sho-Bud. |

| If there is one guy right now who belongs in the steel guitar HOF its Dan Dugmore. I suggest you look up his discography. Literlly hundreds of songs. From Martina McBride to the Pointer Sisters. James Taylor, Rhondstadt. The producers love him. |

Dan's economical way of playing back up steel has made him very popular in some of the Nashville recording scene. Pete Drake used to put those little hook lines in the songs back in the day, and all time great producer Billy Sherill would not often use anyone else. Sherill knew Drake's technical limitations but it made no difference whatsoever.
Dan is from the same mould as Pete - just playing exactly what is required, (never overplaying) and playing what the producer wants. Mike Johnson is another such Nashville player, although he has all of the modern red hot chops on both necks.

I love Dan Dugmore, and Pete Drake - both of them play/played with such subtlety, delicacy, and tastefulness.
And heavy vibrato and liberal use of reverb is what drew me to the steel in the first place.
Dan plays lovely steel on one of my favourite albums, John Prine's 'Fair & Square'. Check out his work on this song, 'Crazy as a Loon':

studio work is completely different from live gig, or even more so, from a steel guitar conventions and jams ... I know some amazing Nashville steel guys, who were fired from the studio because they overplayed , and couldn't follow the instructions...I also had a opportunity to hear Buddy's track on one recording, and it was so simple that you would never believe me, if I told you it was Buddy Emmons, but thats just how it is...no Dan can't play as fast, or complicated as many of other famous "hot" players, but he is a great producers choice for the master session, because of his style, and probably his attitude and ability to connect with a producer, and understands what he wants him to do... just because you have 10 knee levers, or can pick 50 notes per second, doesn't make you a good session musician, maybe good enough for Don Kelly band down town Nashville, on Broadway, but not for the studio...
