I just recieved a CD which I bought on E Bay
There is good steel playing on several of the tracks but one stands out.The song is
"Home is where the hurt is"
I would say it is John Hughey.
Can anyone confirm.
Thanks
Billy |

Ditto on Doyle.
Doyle is,now,the steeler for the "Parrot Head",Jimmy Buffet. He said he loves it.

And who wouldn't want a steady diet of "cheeseburgers in paradise"? The man sells out all his concerts as witnessed at the Times Forum in St. Pete last year.

On Tompall and the Glaser brothers recording of "Gone on the Other Hand" they say "Bill Joe Talbot on his electric hawaiian steel guitar" right in the middle of the record........JH in Va.

| Some of their songs sound more like Lloyd Green to me. We just recorded "A Girl Like You" on our soon to be releasd CD with a similar steel turn around. |

Okay gang,here's the real "skinny" on the subject,from the man hisself,Doyle Grisham:
quote:
Smiley,
I was scanning the Steel Guitar Forum and saw the questions about Tompall & The Glasers.
For your info it was, indeed, Big Joe Talbot on "Gone On The Other Hand". That was before I went to work with them. However, I played on "A Girl Like You". I'm not sure about "Home Is Where The Hurt Is". It could have been me. More than likely, it was Hal Rugg. I'm not sure when it was recorded. He did some recordings with Jim Glaser before I went to work for them.
When I went to work for them around 1970, they make a big push to get me and Bill Holmes (bass) to play on their recordings from that time on, which we did. The only other time after 1970 that I remember any other steel player playing on their records is when they did a few Bob Wills - type songs such as "Faded Love" where they used Leon McCaulif on steel and I played acoustic guitar on those recordings and occasionally over-dubbed some steel in addition to Leon's parts.
That was a long time ago and it took a lot of "brain searching" to come up with that bit of information.
I hope you are doing OK and I hope to see you soon at one of the NTSGA shows, if not sooner. We (The Buffett Show) have just finished another 2 week run tonight. We are in Chicago and head back to Nashville in the morning.
If you want to pass this info along, that is fine, or if you just want to leave it as it is, that is fine, too. I feel that you are interested in these sort of things and I thought I would pass along to you what information I remembered on the subject.
Your friend,
Doyle Grisham
(poster's note:
BTW all,Doyle's the one who showed me how to get the "violin string sound" on the steel,using the "BossTone" fuzz unit. I still use that effect every once-in-a-while,if we don't use a fiddler. I thank Doyle for that,since I've always gotten favorable comments on how I do it.)

OK, I just went downstairs and checked my albums. Sure enough, that quote, "And here's Big Joe Talbot and his electric Hawaiian steel guitar," is on "Gone On The Other Hand" on "The Best of Charley Pride," the black RCA album from 1969. I don't have a copy of the other version mentioned. Not debating who played steel, just curious about the above-mentioned quote.

Okay,for the record,(pun intended) I,too have Charlie's above mentioned album. The song was originally released by Tompall & the Glaser Bros. on MGM in 1965.(which I also have.) I guess Charlie was so impressed by the G.B. version,that he wanted to do the same thing so,I guess,he hired "Big" Joe Talbot to do the same "lick" on his version,just so he could say that catch-phrase also. This makes everybody correct. Case closed!

Okay,here's more "inside" info. Just got an e-mail,w/ this on it:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
quote:
Actually Smiley,
That wasn't Charley Pride who uttered the "Big" Joe Talbot phrase on the version we recorded.........It was Jerry Reed, who played guitar on the session and was himself an RCA artist.
Lloyd Green
