As cool as it gets. Listen to the way he plays the second chorus.
Who is this gentleman? I have to be missing something, his style is so strong, he has to be a big time player....

| I believe you're you are right Billy... that is Stu Basore, who played for Kitty for many years. |

Yes, that's Stu, playing a Fender 1000 that I formerly owned. I forget the drummer's name, but the lead player is a young Paul Yandell, who became well known for his association with Chet Atkins. The bass player is Odell Martin, and he was also a great guitar player. We don't hear much about Odell...so just for fun, I'll post this clip of one of his songs:

Stu is one of my favorite players. Does some really neat stuff.
I would just like to know how they got such a good sound back then with usually only one mike. Can't see mikes on any instruments on any those old videos.

That's a studio cut, Henry...made much later than the original release of the song. That video is just a clip from the movie "Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar", which was released in 1965.
They do a pretty good job of "miming" it in that clip, though!  |

Yes they do, I thought it was live. All those old shows like Buck Owens, Porter and awilburn brothers looks like they only had one mike and sound was always good.

This was a good read, thanks for the knowledge. I am going to keep my ears open to his playing. I really like his attitude.
Side question, is this the first "Ronnie & Neil" type of song to be hit? Are there other instances of singers responding to each others songs in that era?

I'm not sure I understand your question (the "Ronnie and Neil" reference escapes me). Do you mean one song being written in response to, or because of, another? If so, then "Yes Mr. Peters" and "Hurry, Mr. Peters" would fit the bill. However, if you mean two singers carrying on a back-and-forth dialog in the same song, then a song like "Dear John" would be one, and there would likely be thousands of others if you ventured outside the genre. These "call-and-response" songs are the basis of many operas, and are really popular in musical movies and plays where the stars sing to each other. |

Jason, here is a link to a series if videos (11) that Jim Vest made in 2001 I believe. You will see and hear Stu Bassore, Tommy White, and Don Helms along with Jim Vest telling about how they got started playing and many other interesting topics.
Everyone should watch these videos...very informative.

Sorry Donny for being vague, lots of work and little sleep. I was referring to Neil Young's song Southern Man & then Ronnie's response to it in Sweet Home Alabama.
