I'm reading the great book by Steve Fishell about Buddy Emmons and at the end of most of the chapters there are a few key songs he lists that pertain to what was discussed in the chapter. I thought it would be fun to make a Spotify playlist that has all of them in it.
If this link doesn't work you can just search "Buddy Emmons Fish List" and you'll find it.
I am fairly new to steel, so this is a really cool way to get a "Birds Eye" view of the history of steel from the 50s to now. Some of the jazz stuff was, as one person said somewhere, so ahead of its time we never will get back to it lol.
You get a real picture of Buddy's life and career, from touring with Little Jimmy Dickens to his time in California (his solo on Ray Charles' "Feel so Bad" is a highlight for me... so COOL to more modern stuff in Nashville... its pretty hard to wrap your head round it. I recommend setting it to random! |

| Mr. Ellman, Thank you very much. Steve's book is essential reading for any steel player at any stage of their development as a musician. "Buddy Emmons Steel Guitar Icon" is also relevant to all musicians, regardless of the style they're working in. These songs are the basic source material, and Steve illustrated Emmons's career with the songs he chose for his book. Needless to say, hearing the actual songs is invaluable. |
