Here's something from an early Gosden Bros CD, not on the original release. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDUKKaRw9wE Not crazy about the tune but the tele pickin' knocks me out. It's got that mellow cozmic hillbilly twang going on.

I think this is before he played the B Bender, which I prefer. (Sorry, not a B Bender fan Whoa! )

Can some one suggest more good pre B Bender C. White on the telecaster?

Also, any idea who's playing steel on this track? Sounds like a Fender but doesn't sound like Red Rhodes to me.

cheers

The "Nashville West" album is pre-bender. It's a live bar gig recording, and from what I've read Clarence had his guitar routed out for the bender, but it hadn't been installed the night they recorded these tracks. Gene Parsons, who built Clarence's bender, is the drummer on the gig and recorded it.

I forgot about the album. Just listened to a track on youtube, Ode to Billy Joe. Pretty raw sounding, but I like it.

Mr. B Bender Gene Parsons just confirmed with me that Carl Walden played steel on the early Gosden Bros. cuts.

There's an interesting CD titled Tuff and Stringy Sessions 1966-1968. Some of the cuts were demos and lesser known So Cal singers. Some acoustic and electric from Clarence. 26 tunes.

Can anyone familiar recommend some other good Clarence White material, besides his Byrds appearances?

The Tuff and Stringy Sessions CD I mentioned above has some great Clarence tracks. Arlo guthrie's Running Down The Road album has some way cool Clarence and side by side with James Burton on "Coming into Los Angeles". Freddy Weller's "Games People Play album has some killer Clarence and Red Rhodes. Clarence played some real nice acoustic stuff on Jackson Browne's first album "Saturate Before Using". Many more, but there's a few.
