[Dale Rivard]

Just a guess, Maybe Sonny Garrish?

[Joe Krumel]

Thanks dale. I tried allmusic and others, but nothing turns up regarding musician credits.

I read here on the Forum that Lloyd Green did all Lynn’s sessions except Rose Garden. Ricky Davis might chime in here and ask Lloyd.

[Ricky Davis]

Yeah I listened to it and so I emailed Lloyd as it doesn't' sound like him...and I think when Lynn Changed Record Label's; then the whole recording band thing changed...(my memory isn't clueing totally in; so I asked The MAN????

thanks for the help and effort folks. I didnt think it sounded like Mr. Lloyd either.

This just in from Lloyd:

Hi Ricky,

And hello to all you Forum members.

All of us love this difficult, but beautiful instrument the steel guitar.

Regarding the Lynn Anderson version of “Blue Bayou” I don’t think it was me playing, although I did occasionally mask my normal style on a cover song when a recorded solo was so memorable that it seemed blasphemous to deviate far from the original version.

Dan Dugmore painted such a picture (solo) with Linda Ronstadt on the song.

I don’t know who was on Lynn’s cover version but it does differ from Dan’s quite a bit although it sounds good. It may have been Doyle Grisham??

Pete Drake played on “Rose Garden” with Lynn, my first session to have missed with her. Hell of a record to have been absent from since it was her career song, selling more than 4 million records!! I was recording with Freddie Hart that night….

Thanks for asking,

 
Lloyd

It's not Lloyd and if it was a Columbia session it's probably Pete Drake.

It's not Lloyd and if it was a Columbia session it's probably Pete Drake.

Pete Drake would be my guess, sure sounds like him.
