who plays on later carl smith

Cody Campbell · From: Nashville, Tennessee

Listening to Sirius satellite radio last night, I heard the song "This kinda love ain't meant for sunday school".

The steel fill sounded really good, and had a really smooth tone. [To my non-steeler's ear it sounds a little bit like John Hughey, but I don't think it is. (I visited John's site trying to find out, and Carl isn't on his artist sessions list).] I'm probably way off.

When I first heard it, I may have thought it sounded a little like Carl, but I didn't think it was actually him. Then I got on the web and found out. (It must be a later recording).

(Or maybe someone else recorded it).

I also like Carl's stuff from the sixties alot, some of it's kinda swingin'. And the song "There she goes, she's walking away" has a solo that I really like. (who??)

Cody, I know that Curly played on some of Carl's stuff as did Johnny Seibert in the 60's. Try a search on here because i think the topic was covered not too long ago.

Hi Cody, I am not familiar with the song you referred to first in your post, but I have a C.D of Carl smith " The Carl Smith Anniversary Album" 20 years of hits, and it has Curly Chalker all over it and the song "There she goes" is on it and it has a great steel break, don't know if it's the one you are talking about or not but it sure is a good C.D.( Actually the C.D is burned from a double album,and is not available on C.D to my knowledge.)

Walter Stettner · From: Vienna, Austria

Some of the 60's tracks of Carl Smith even have Johnny Sibert and Curly Chalker trading licks between pedal and non-pedal steel. If you see some of the old albums on Columbia ("Man With A Plan", "Faded Love And Winter Roses"), get them, they are really great!

Kind Regards, Walter

That's interesting Walter. Thank you.

Robert I have one disc of that record. It is excellent. I'd never heard or heard of Carl Smith before that record was handed to me (w/o a sleeve)in a stack, by an older friend/bandmate.

Craig I have tried searching. In the steel players forum and in the music forum. It didn't turn up anything. That's why I posted.

Thanks a bunch fellas.

Walter Stettner · From: Vienna, Austria

Cody, if you are searching for albums, here are the titles and label number:

"Deep Water" (Columbia CS 9622)
"Carl Smith Special" (Columbia LE 10111)
"Faded Love And Winter Roses" (Columbia LE 10112)
"Man With A Plan" (Columbia 10157)

Sony Special Products released a CD in 2002 titled "The Sixties Hits Of Carl Smith" - Warning: This CD (24 tracks) has almost none of those great recordings with steel (as mentioned above) on it. Looks like Carl's chart entries of that period were mostly the ones w/o or almost no steel!

Kind Regards, Walter

Cody:

That particular song was from a Carl Smith LP entitled "This Lady Loving Me" on the ABC/Hickory label.

It was recorded very late in Carl Smith's recording career--1977.

The steel players on that LP were Weldon Myrick and "Harold L. Chalker".

Cody Campbell · From: Nashville, Tennessee

Mitch, thank you.

I just knew that had to be a later recording cause his voice just didn't sound the same.

I guess it's either Curly or Weldon. Sure is smooth whoever it is.

Hey Walter, thanks for lookin' out.

(I don't buy CDs often so I'd probably never buy that one anyway. But just in case, Thanks for the warning

JERRY BYRD is the featured steel guitarist on these two albums. Mighty fine listening.

Whatever happened to Carl Smith, last I knew he was retired and living on a farm outside of Salina, Ok. Thats been 25 years ago, I sure he's probably gone by now.

Well shucks I guess old timers disease is setting in, I got my Carls mixed up. Carl BELEW is who I was thinking of. I just did a Google search and he died in 1990. Ain't it fun getting old.

Thanks everyone. I'll keep an eye out for the albums suggested.

Eddie, Check Your Email. (And thanks for answering. That's what I needed to know).

Smiley, thank you for that info. I didn't remember any sax, but I went back and played the one disc I have and found I was WAY wrong.

Actually, one of my more favorite tunes now, is "When You Feel Like You're In Love, Don't Just Stand There".

How did they do it? It must be overdubbed, (sax surely, and perhaps steel too). Cause there's times when they're playing at about the same time. And in the solo, sax comes Right off the steel w/ no delay.

And there may be sax and steel simultaneously. There's harmony over the 1511 of the intro and instrumental break. There's surely guitar, i dunno if it's steel.

OK, now that I've played that tune again, I hope you all will do the same. There's this crazy steel guitar fill, that I thought was hilarious when I first noticed it.

So, the song goes: (intro); (verse, chorus, verse); (break: steel, sax & keyboard); (verse, chorus, verse).

That very final verse is where the fill is. It's a single-note, melodic thing. not a chord thing. Anyway, I dunno if he did it on purpose, but I like it and get a kick out of it. Check it out.
