I just got the compilation cassette The Nashville Bar Association from bob. It does not have the credits on the cover for who is doing each song. I know only one for sure,positively has to be Emmons. Can anyone supply the credits? Thanks.

I don't have the original record, but Tom Bradshaw's catalog listed the pickers as Buddy Emmons, Sonny Garrish, Jimmy Crawford, Russ Hicks, and John Hughey.

I bought the Album when it first came out and It is even better today as I listen to it. I have since put it on CD but this is one CD that should be re-released in CD format by the NBA.

I second that. I still have a scratched up vinyl lp of this, but it should be redone on CD. An amazing album. I remember when I first heard it, let some of my stone funk musician friends hear it, and they were amazed. Also, if you look at the cover, you'll see they're all wearing zip-up half boots. My steel playing choice in footwear to this day.

This is one of my favorite steel guitar albums.

It was re-released as a CD in 2001 by Chimer Records. I picked one up at the JCH Booth at the 2001 ISGC.

Try Scotty's Music, they may have a copy.

Thanks to all for the replies. This is more interesting now that I know what I am listening to.

Along with being an incredible album it was very cool that, as Richard documented, the liner notes told who played what and when. It was great to be able to follow along when
listening to it.

Hey Larry don't pay attention to John Ciano. Last week he thought he was me and played really bad. He's back to being himself now and he plays much better.

Do you think it was a misprint on the album? "Slidewalk" makes more sense than "Sidewalk"

Buddy said he "blew out his thumb working up "Devil's Dream"".
