Herb has contributed more the steel guitar world than
just about anyone around today. He is a very modest
unassuming man, will help you in any way he can and
would never acknowledge the vast amount of work that
he has done in his long career. I sincerely hope that
he continues for a long time. |

I whole-heartedly echo what has been written above. Herb is one of the finest players I've been privileged to meet. He is also one of the nicest people I've ever met!

Years ago I played a Herb Remington album to my father who was a good piano and keyboard player. He was very complimentary about Herbs playing, and of the many steel albums of mine that he heard the only two players that he made positive comments about were Herb and Buddy Emmons.
Herb was a very stylish player in his prime.

| One of the greatest and a personal favorite player. There's a lot of great "Steel guitar albums", but Herbs records are great albums period, whether you play steel or not, they make for wonderful listening. For me it doesn't get much better than "Big Dance at The Windmill Greasin'" and "Don't Mess Around With My Love". So much emotion in his hands and musical ideas. Herbie, if you see this we LOVE you! |

Herb is one of the best, ever! I love his song, Sweetenin' and even did my own recording of the tune. He inspired me to write an original, "For Herb," based on his tune, "Yes, He's Gone." I love his playing.

Scott, Bruce, and Chuck, thanks for the comments. I am sure Herb will appreciate these comments when he reviews them. When I last talked with Herb, I ordered 2 new CDs from him. Looking forward to listening to them. Herb is definitely a very gifted and great steel player!
