Saw something interesting at Doyle Holly's website http://doyleholly.com

He has two online CDs, taken from his solo recordings over the years.
Best of Doyle Holly Vol. 1
Best of Doyle Holly Vol. 2
Both were issued on CD this year.
The big one for me though is the acoustic CD, which was innspired by the August '99 Buck Owens Buckaroos reunion to help Buck celebrate his 70th Birthday, at Buck's Crystal Palace in Bakersfield.

Doyle has gone back into the studio to cut a CD. He has brought with him Tom Brumley and Willie Cantu. They are going into Buckaroo Bluegrass territory!
This is technically Doyle's first Compact Disc recording and it marks the first time he has been in the studio in several years.
This recording is being made under the OMS Records label and features many talented bluegrass musicians as well as the ex-Buckaroos contribution. http://omsrecords.com/ the website is currently being updated, but I wrote to Doyle and his CD should be out on OMS by the end of the year, okay!

Doyle is also on the Sundazed series of Buck Owens albums which have been wonderfully remasteres to CD. The latest in the Carnige Hall CD, and a Don Rich compilation CD.

The future ain't what it used to be

You mean bluegrass, like dobro and upright bass??

Yep, that's all there, it's bluegrass pickers as well as the Ex-Buckaroos mentioned.
Bluegrass-hybrid if you like. Others that have worked in variations of this are Buck Owens (his 'Ruby' LP), Country Gazette, the Hot Burrito Revue, Newgrass Alliance and Sundance among others.

Jason - just placed an early Christmas gift order to myself with Sundazed just yesterday.....

4 Buck reissues (including Carnegie Hall) and the Don Rich compilation. Can't wait for these to arrive, a fresh shot of Bakerfield to help get through a Nebraska winter!!! - Neil

I didn't find an e-mail link on Doyle's web-site....sure would like tell him hello. Played steel in his group called The Holly Family (Doyle, Doyle's sister, his mother, and fiddler Bill Stewart)many years ago before his days with Buck Owens. Doyle if you see this send me an e-mail.

I'll check on that email.
Ain't it grand though?.. to have all this Buckaroos reated material at our disposal.

with most web hosting services you can type anything@whatever.com and it will be deposited into the mailbox of the web site owner. so, you can try it and see what happens. try info@doyleholly.com or webmaster@, or make something up.

I've actually passed on Doyle's email on to Gene, seeing as they were old bandmates and all.
I'm suprised that Doyle's email isn't on the website though, it used to be.
The web site has been redesigned though.

Doyle's current record label is really interesting and has a few bluegrass greats as part of their roster.
