WHATS YOUR CHOICE

Leon Rhodes and Buddy Charleton
Curly Chalker and Bobby Caldwell

Yeah, Yeah for the Leon Rhodes and Buddy C.
duo!
Now, you can't take anything away from ole Speedy West and that fantabulous Jimmy Bryant. What a pair they made!!!
For slower and sweeter twin guitars, Jerry Byrd and Zeke Turner or Chet Atkins made an awesome contribution to the "sound" of country music. They did alot of that 3-part stuff which many of the others never did.

Another vote for Leon Rhodes and Buddy Charleton
and: John Jorgenson and J.D.Maness
and of course ol´Waylon and ol´Mooney

Lloyd Green and Pete Wade, Sonny Garrish and Steve Chapman. Eldon Shamblin and Leon McAuliff, Curly Chalker and Thumbs Carlile,Buddy Emmons and Bucky Barrett. I could go on but I'll stop here. Mike

Ricky and Dale.

Love "E" and Gregg, I also love Lloyd Green and Jimmy Colvard!!!

Are there any recordings of Buddy and Greg together?

Buddy E and anyone.

Buddy Charleton/Leon Rhodes - actually the Troubador band was probably the best road band, regardless of who was in it.

Joaquin Murphey and Jimmy Bryant.

Howzabout Tommy "Butterball" Paige with any of the shifting list of steel players in the Troubadors. James Burton and Ralph Mooney made that great "Corn Pickin' and Slick Slidin'" record . . . the different Wills teams were mentioned - but the era that found Junior Barnard on guitar and Herb Remington on steel was a pretty good time.
Biller and Wakefield! There's another great record. And, yes, Speedy and Jimmy.

Rob Yale

At the risk of stating the obvious, Emmons and practically ANY of the great guitarists he's worked with would be a good choice.

I'm partial to the couple or three albums Buddy did with Danny Gatton and the Superpickers material with Phil Baugh. He's obviously recorded some killer stuff with everyone from Lenny Breau to Bucky Barrett, Leon Rhodes, Grady Martin, etc., -- and our own friend Gregg -- but the 'Redneck Jazz' and 'Nashville Superpickers' dates were highlights for me.

Henry,
I think you got it right the first time
A hard one to call..Too many greats
With no disrespect to any one else, it's hard to beat the cream of the crap--wups
If you have never had the pleasure of playing with Greg you've missed a great part of life!! As for Buddy ....Sighhhhhhhhhh

Speaking of Gregg and Buddy, didn't they team up on a new Gene Watson CD? That should be cool, hearing Gene sing the vocal fills, err I mean the lead.

I must say it was pretty sweet hearing Gregg & Paul in 2000 live in St.Louis! Theresa

Weldon Myrick & Jimmy Capps always did it for me. Best, Boomer

Goin' back a bit..Les Paul & Mary Ford.

How could I forget - Amos Garrett and Buddy Cage w/ the Great Speckled Bird.

Jody Carver & Johnny Cucci

Rusty Young & Jim Messina (Poco)

Emmons & Gatton

Charleton & Rhodes

West & Bryant

Byrd & Garland

Tom Morrell and Leon Chambers. I've never heard anyone "twin" as good as these two, although I've heard Speedy and Jimmy Bryant were pretty good at it.

I remember going out to the HOF lounge years back and Lenny Breau and Chalker were holding down the fort with a Bass player named Emmons some nights.O for those days again er nights.

My first inspiration to want to play parts with a steel player was hearing Charleton and Rhodes. More recently, I was amazed by Morrell and Chambers. This year at Scotty's, the best twin stuff I heard was by Steve Paticco(sp?) and Al Briscoe.

GREGG,

the Big E and YOU
Our first choice,,,,,,,,says also
Koos & Gerry Hogan
