The whole project was astounding me and then I heard,
"The King of Broken Hearts".
Every once in a while I hear something that reminds
me "WHY" I even attempt PSG. This song is one of them. I listened to it 10 times in a row on the way home last night. Paul's break is dead-on/killer,
as usual, But there are some fills after the break
that literally give me chills...
Congratulations, Paul Franklin, on even more
great work. The bar you set for us is incredible...

I'll be the first to agree with you! I'm the one who has had to learn this stuff, and it's left me scratching my head a few times.
Paul has played some of the finest fills and solos I ever heard on any recording. There's also many little subtle things he played that are back in the mix that add a great feel to the tracks. They almost sound like a voice humming a line. A good example is "I Think I Know." The more you listen, the more you'll hear. |

"The King of broken Hearts" is a good song. Although, I do like the way Strait recorded it.
If you learn the steel run on his song you shouldn't have any problem with Lee Ann's version.
Both are my favorite.

Randy, "I Think I Know" is my favorite tune on the CD.
I am really leaning towards tunes with Acoustic Instruments along with Steel/Tele's lately. This is a great track I'll bet you have great fun with it...

PS, after Bo takes Lee Ann out to Dinner, would you ask her if she wants to go to the Movies with me ? |

| After the break on "The King of Hearts" Paul plays a C chord high on the neck just after Lee Ann sings the words "the king of hearts thinks that he's an old fool". It's on 4, 5 and 6, pedals down (I think), and there's this little rise at the end on the 6th string, which I cannot do on my steel. Is this the "Franklin change". |

FWIW I think it was Al Perkins who did the steel on the original Jim Lauderdale version of "King of Broken Hearts". Both the George Strait version and the Lee Ann Womack version follow the arrangement from the original pretty closely (and both were produced by Tony Brown), and all three have really good steel for sure... Randy plays the hell out of it live too!
I've played with Jim quite a bit; he says he wrote the song about Georges Jones and Gram Parsons after hearing that Parsons had once called Jones "The King of Broken Hearts". |

Ray, Paul used to raise the 6th to a B and changed to lowering it to a E. This is on his vertical lever. He might have both changes on that knee and just tunes it to how he's going to use it on a particular song. It sure is a nice move. (G# to B)
I've got to get that cd for sure.

I'm pretty sure that the steel player on Strait's version of "The King Of Broken Hearts" was Buddy Emmons.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing this recording. Randy, congrats on the gig... couldn't pick a better guy for the job.

It's late and I don't have an amp turned on, but it sounds to me like it's the 15th fret, strings 4,6,10 with AB pedals. It's hard for me to tell without an amp, but I think the "raise" is actually the stationary 4th string tone against the pedaled (rising) 10th string tone. Maybe it will sound different in the morning, but right now that's what I'm hearing. |

The lick is strings 4, 6 and 10 with A and B pedals down, then Paul is raising the 6th string to B then letting off that lever. That's the way I heard it.
I do it by playing 4, 5, and 9 with 5 lowered a whole tone and 9 lowered a half. Then let off the 5th string lower, then back down.
Same notes and hard to tell any difference in the phrasing. It makes you think, that's a good thing!

With all due respect, the best way for most of us to play that is by pressing the little button with the arrow head pointing to the right.

I'm headed down to the store to get my copy of Lee Ann's latest here in about 10 minutes. I've got all of her other CD's, I wouldn't miss this one for the world.

| What a cool song -- I can't believe I've never heard it before. Great performance all around. The George Strait version is pretty amazing too. |

I can't believe my daughter, Megan beat me to the punch. She's 25 and loves it! I bought it today.
It's amazing, great singing by Lee Ann and a must for steel players.
Keeping it country! |
