I haven't heard this one in probably over 20 years, maybe longer. Off the Brujo album I believe. Stumbled onto it on Youtube.
Its got all of Buddy's high speed palm blocked licks and little rythmnic vamps. All in a cool but somewhat obscure ONE CHORD New Riders tune.. I wore the grooves off this one my first year or two of steel playing until I had it cold.. I am happy to say I can still get 75% of it cold, and if I had desire to play around with it for an hour or so,maybe all of it would come back... Please enjoy this cool NRPS old tune. I really miss this kind of music...

| Thanks Bob, Buddy is one of the reasons I own a steel. (all the Buddys) There is some footage of him on the holiday express video. Man I would have loved to be on that train. I'd still have a hangover. John |

Thanks BC! I love the lick at 2:35, I never heard this one, it's like Buddy's lick collection all in one song. I've seen him live twie, and he rarely does this bouncy stuff, mostly just chords, but every now and then he lets it loose. It's wierd how far away is right palm is from the strings, I don't know how he moves so far so fast to palm block, but it surely is very unique as far as I know. Love it! JP
BTW the first time I got to play Panama Red out in a group I thought I had died and gone to heaven!

Yeah he's just not doing as much of the palm blocked single string work he is know for these days.
Can't say why that is..
He always did have a lot of hand movement in his playing.
Perhaps in the broad sense it might be considered "improper technique", but IMHO some of the best players in many genres on many instruments have had great success, playing with " non traditional" technique.. It could have helped impart that delightful, happy sounding "bounce" to his steel playing, that so many of us found very appealing.
