Here's Dicky backing Mona McCall. His taste and expression are wonderful, and he's one of a few steel players I've heard/known with such exceptional volume pedal work.

Enjoy!  |

| JImmy Day and Dicky are two of the most soulful pedal steel players ever - IMO! |

| Friends, can anyone tell me how I can get a copy of Dicky’s cd “ HonkyTonk.com� I did get the website for the cd but they did not have Dickey’s cd. Dicky and Jimmy Day squeezed out every bit of emotion out of the strings on their steels. Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you. [/i] |

Dicky's 'Another Bridge to Burn' on his CD for me says it all.
Years ago at the ISGC Saturday Night after party with Jake Hooker, Bobby Flores, Amber Digby, Justin Trevino, and Dicky playing steel for all of them. It still reverberates in my mind. Truly awesome.

Dickey is about my favorite player; nobody & I mean NOBODY had better tone than him. I like his version of "Deepening Snow", and I think he played on Kim Murray's "The Steel Guitar Song".
He could drop his steel down a flight of stairs & STILL sound better than most!

| Dickey's playing and Johnny Bush's voice belong together. I could listen to them all day. I think I will do just that! |

Rich - I agree completely. You are right about Kimberly singing The Steel Guitar Song. I have known her for years. She is a true traditional country music fan and singer, and a great person.

When I first heard this song I thought it was kind of corny, but I was wrong. This song gives Kimberly a good opportunity to show what a great singer she is, and Dicky plays great, as he always does. I used to go see Dicky at the ET Midnight Jamboree when he'd be working with someone there. The audience would be full of steel players and other musicians to get to see Dicky do his magic in person.

Classic E9 honky tonk steel at the very highest level...
Dickey was second to no one on E9... Not sure how much C6 he played, if any... Didn't matter, he didn't need it... bob

It was a sad day in my house when Dickey passed. No one, & I mean NO ONE, could play honky-tonk style steel like Dickey, and that is my favorite type of country. Wish I coulda heard him live.

Yes Sir. I'm with you. Hearing him live was a special treat. There was no "look at me" he let the playing sell itself, and was all about being a team player.

| You can also here Dickey on a live album with Ronnie Milsap. Dickey played a fast tune with greased lightening speed. I believe he overdubbed steel on the Dukes of Hazard as well. Really, I don’t believe Dickey got the recognition he deserved from the Nashville set; but he was HOT in Texas! |

Yes Sir. Great album. I listen to it often. The slide at the end of "Busy Making Plans" is a couple seconds long, but it feels like it last forever. That was the magic of Dickey.

| Give a listen to "I'll Break Out Again Tonight" and "The Loser" by Darrell McCall ! Dickey is really shiny on both. When he lived in Tulsa for a while, he would come over to the house and share his licks and knowledge with me. Such a blessing at that time. He knocked it out of the park on his gospel steel playing. |

Joe; Yes that was Dicky on that whole album. Hank Jr. wanted a very traditional sounding steel guitar on that album; so of course he hired Dicky Overbey....yeeehaaaa.
