I really like it!!!
Hank DeVito is the reason I started playing Steel Guitar and the angel like voice of Emmylou just send chills down my spine.
Thanks for the clip!

Isn't James at the top of his form here, too? This was my favourite band back in the day - maybe they still are!
I could do without the Tele-behind-the-neck nonsense but that's show business, I suppose...

Any guesses to what the fuzz Hank was using? Bosstone perhaps?

Roger, you gotta admit that James still plays the thing pretty dang good behind this head. I haven't tried that trick for many years, but the few times I did it hurt.
Sounds like Hank has an organ affect going while not soloing. It's not Glen D. cause he's on acoustic piano. Love Burton's tone. A little edgier than his recordings with Emmy Lou

No argument there, Dave, but I still think it's a pity that great playing still has to be 'sold' to the public. (And you'll notice that he stayed safely in one position once he was doing his party-trick!  )
Yes, the mix was interesting; almost as though someone's tweaked the sound. JB's guitar was nice and present throughout.

A good friend of mine was playing a solo gig in hotel lounge in Tacoma back when James was with John Denver. The band was staying at the hotel and James and a couple of the guys came into the bar. My buddy asked him what it was like playing with John Denver and he said it was a good gig, but that maybe someday when he got tired of it he might play a guitar solo behind his head. Don't know if this meant he was tired of playing with Emmy Lou. Probably not. Most likely just having some fun.

A significant Aussie musician (now retired) told me about some of the artists he worked for during a 4 year stint in Las Vegas.
He said that John Denver was his favourite; never met a nicer guy or one who was more considerate of his band.
The other end of the spectrum was Jerry Lewis (the funny man). |
