I have to say that doesn’t sound like Big E at all to me. More like Pete Drake, but I wasn’t there so the band recollection trumps my perceptions.

It doesn't sound like Emmons to me either. More like Rhodes???
But Gabe, one of the founding members of the Casacades says that it is, so I don't know. |

The only thing about this that sounds like Pete Drake to me is the"ernie-ernie-ernie-ernie"lick(Phil O'Donnell,Nashville songwriter called it that one time-I hit the floor)...
The first time I heard this(late last nite)I thought it could be Buddy Emmons...
...but this morning,I don't know...I'm hearing elements of Red Rhodes,Sneeky Pete...
...and yes,Buddy in a spot or two...
...plus,it sounds like a Fender steel to me...but I've been sick...
Merry Christmas!

| To me this doesn't remotely sound like anything else Emmons was doing in 1969, when he was in L.A., tonally or stylistically. It sounds like it might have been recorded direct, which was how I believe Sneaky Pete liked to record. I wouldn't have any trouble believing it was him or Red Rhodes, or some other L.A. player of the era, but Emmons would be my last guess. |

I don't know who it is, but I don't hear anything there that sounds like Sneaky Pete's tone or style.
Thanks for posting that Duane. This the same band that did Rhythm of the Rain? |

I'm sure its Red Rhodes, I had posted this on facebook as well, and Ernie from Buddy's old website, mentioned that its not Buddy, but Red.
Thought so, it does have an Emmons lic in there, but just didn't lend itself to Emmons' style.
I'm sure Gabe from the Cascades, which Jerry, did Rhythm of the Rain, was mistaken. |
