Who played steel on Loretta Lynn's hit "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin'"? Was it Hal Rugg or Pete Drake? At first I thought Hal played on all of her hits, but listening to it I think it might be Pete.

Pete did play on at least one of her records, "Fist City". Hal and Don Helms both played on some album cut she had; Owen Bradley must have had a wild hair that day. Seems like I remember that Speedy West played on some of her stuff when she was on the Zero label in Washington State.

| C# - tho possible, based on the dates of the recordings, I'm doubting there's that kind of reciprocal relationship ('63/LL '65/RP). |

| The intro, fills, and solo in "Don't Come Home..." are really something special. -lovely dissonant intervals and a real nice percussiveness to the whole vibe on the steel parts. It was a treat to study the song and get a bit closer to what's going on as our band did a cover of the tune for a brief while. |

-here's a link to a you tube, live TV appearance of Loretta and band doing the tune. It's not exactly the original steel parts, but right there in the spirit... and even more space than in the original. What fun, -and- a surprise cameo at the end of the segment.

From an Interview with Hal:
Interviewer: "I’ve got to mention that great intro you did with Loretta on "Don’t Come Home A Drinking With Loving On Your Mind", is a classic".
Hal: "Thank you very much; that was a lot of fun. Owen Bradley, who was Loretta’s record producer, always seemed to have the ability to pull the best out of you. He’d asked you for an intro, and if it wasn’t right, he’d say, "You did that last week. Do something else." So I’d just fool around until I found something that seemed to work. He’d say, "That’ll work." So then I’d know I had the right thing."

Hey Al,
Thanks for that link! Way cool to hear Hal go for it. That's the difference between him in a live situation and in the studio where he's more restrained. What a great player. I think that intro might have been the first time the middle position (E-FKL, 11th fret if in C) was used for an intro lick.

How did this shift from "Don't Come Home a Drinkin" to "Walking After Midnight"?

I had the privelege of seeing a concert at a County Fair one summer here in Franklin Cty, N.Y., featuring Loretta. The entire two hour show was done with a pouring down rain storm; The band was covered with a large canopy; keeping the rain off the musicians and Loretta; Jimmy Crawford was filling in for her regular steel player; what a fabulous job he did on all her numbers. Exactly like her records, One of the best Country shows I have ever seen. Thanks for the info, Cal and the rest of you..Regards..Bernie

|

Hal Rugg played on all Loretta Lynn recordings.
there is even a blurb about it in the Winnie Winston book... that recording had Hal Written all over it:).
Here is is one of my favorite Loretta songs This is Leon Rhoades that played for Ernest Tubb I think

Hal showed me the "Don't come home - song as he called it and said well that's about right - that's how I put in the record - and gave me that half smile.
Great man - I miss him all the time. I was putting strings on a Desert Rose we just finished the night before - someone came in the shop and I did not pay any attention just kept tuning the steel. I start "tryin to play somethin" and all of the sudden I heard this voice that said, "close - one more time and you got it" - it was Hal - I do not remember the song now but I simply ask how it went and he said - "Well the first time we layed it down it was - and he told me - then he said the second time I was not feeling well so it was ---- then for another time I just wanted to change it a little" - he paused and then said, "this is what cracks me up when someone ask about a record I played on and I ask Whick Time"
I still don't know if he was messin with me or being straight with me but it just does not matter.
Great memory
