On the first recording (the best known one) of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", Jerry Byrd, not Don Helms, is on steel. (Recorded at Herzog Studios, Cincinnati, 1949.)

Thank you, Larry!

I talked to his wife and she said he did play with Skeets but never on any of his recordings...

Hmmm....

-P.

Purely an opinion, but those long glisses on "Paper To Burn" sound very much like Jerry Byrd to me.

"Hello Trouble" could well be Isaacs, largely because Isaacs at times reminds ...

Hey, thanks, Fred. One of my internet friends, James "Tim" Ausburn, also knew Skeets and said the same things about him that you did. Certainly that air of sincerity comes across in his voic ...

Skeets has been mentioned a number of times on the forum. When I was an undergrad in Carbondale, IL in the '60s I used to listen to his country show from St. Louis on KSTL, I think it was.

P.S. I said "Roy" but meant "Ron." Thanks again.

Heh. And I thought SR meant Starday.

But I guess the photo doesn't lie.

... Umm ... wait a second ... there's Photoshop, isn't there? ....

No commas in Why Baby Why on the album cover, either ...

Back to the original question. (I should know, since I asked it. Winking

)

I said that I couldn't find the non-original recording I had on PragueFrank's site. Someone else found it there. I missed it b ...

Well, that suspicion is what caused me to ask in the first place. Smile

To furth ...

Here it is:

Whoa. Non-pedal for sure.

The version I have listed as the original 1955 recording is different. Listening around on youtube, it's this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lFT ...

This was recorded in '55, and to my ear, Herb Remington is using pedals on it -- especially toward the end of the song. But of course this would be unusual for him in that era. In fact, the steel play ...
