I think Lloyd Green played on all the Del Reeves hits in the 60s.

One of my all time favorites, and that Del Reeves "Best Of" album has one classic single after another.
And of course the amazing Mr. Hinson, as always, knows exactly what he's talking about. I started to write that this album is "Lloyd Green in his prime" but then realized Lloyd is still in his prime today, over 50 years later; playing incredibly and still blazing new creative trails. Hard to think of many artists in any field that have stayed at the top of their game, and so fresh and creative, for so long. |

| This track sounds more like Weldon's technique than Lloyd's. |

The year I played with Little Jimmy Dickens, the Opry would book us on the schedule, but make sure Del wasn't close to that same schedule.
Although Tater and Del were close Friends, the bottle could really cause havoc. Del was known for walking in with a guitar case with no guitar in it, but booze was.
I love stories like this. They are getting lost as players pass away here in Nashville.
Several years ago, we had a party at my house here in Gallatin, TN and about 12 steel players showed up that had worked the road with many stars. We all sat in the round and each had to tell a road story. It was GREAT fun.
I plan on doing it again.

This just in from Lloyd Green; Important info on those 60's recordings:
| Quote: |
Well, although nobody bothered to ask me who played steel on Del Reeves version of “One Dime At A Timeâ€, I happen to know the answer since I’m still alive…without guessing.
It wasn’t Mooney. It wasn’t Myrick. It wasn’t Emmons. It wasn’t…. (fill in the guesses). I played on it, as I did on most of Del’s United Artist recordings, starting with my first #1 record “Girl On The Billboard†way back in early 1965.
As for the song the poster now says he meant to post, “Be Quiet Mindâ€, which is on Decca Records and was recorded 4 years earlier… I don’t know who was playing steel. It sure as hell wasn’t me. I was selling shoes and 4 years away from my recording career of which, by the way, I accurately remember almost all.

Going by the comments on youtube there is a lot of Canadian content on this cut . Maybe Al Brisco would know ? Only because Al is a great fan of Mooney .

| Does this mean Steve is wrong? Anyone besides Lloyd know what year this was recorded? He did not share that info. If it predates Lloyd's recording career? I'm thinking it predates Weldon. |

I’m going to take a wild guess and say Walter Haynes on “Be Quite Mindâ€.
Sure sounds like Walter. |

I think(sorry); that "Be Quiet Mind" is 1961; is why it was recorded 4 years before Lloyd started with Del in '65.

His first charting single was "Be Quiet Mind," which made the top 10 of the Billboard charts in late 1961.
So I guess it was a hit.

Both those early Decca Records Del Reeves cuts sound like Walter Haynes to me also. I think this is Walter with George Jones on this track, also from 1961, though I've never been able to confirm it for sure (could be Emmons copping that style from Walter, who Emmons always said was an influence). I love that distinctive open-string, hammer-on/pull-off style he had going.

If you can find a Haynes instrumental called "Gear Shifting" from this era it features this style. (There's no youtube or any other free link for it that I can find). I've got it on an old LP and it's available for download on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Gear-Shiftin/dp/B009I9L0OE/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=Walter+Haynes&qid=1592000111&s=dmusic&search-type=ss&sr=1-4
He also used elements of this style on an Everly Brothers album in the early '60s. I'd love to know of other good examples if anybody knows of any. Of course he played on some classic early Jimmy Dickens, but not with this particular style. |
