GRADY MARTIN, "FREIGHT TRAIN BOOGIE," WITH RED FOLEY






Grady Martin's on a ton of records, but this is the first clip I ever saw where you can actually see him play. He plays a hot hillbilly boogie figure around :37, (notated here) and danged if he isn't playing it on a Bigsby double-neck. A few nice licks at the top really nail that fifties country guitar sound, and he plays some nice backup double-stop figures at 1:08.

If anyone else has found any other Grady Martin clips, let me know!
