I'd say Norm. Pretty sure the Strangers were her backing band. Doesn't sound like Mooney.
great title!

| It's Norm Hamlet for sure, recorded in 1969. I don't think Fuzzy was even still playing by then, and Mooney wasn't recording with Haggard or Owens by then either. |

| Chuck Berghoffer and John Guerin!? Two of the very hippest jazz and legit players, L.A. studio stalwarts, and just as at home playing hard core country with the Strangers. That's versatlity. |
