NORMA JEAN, "TRUCK DRIVING WOMAN"

There's some nice sessionman pickin' on this song by the unjustly overlooked Norma Jean.

BUCK TRENT, WITH DOLLY PARTON, "DUMB BLONDE"

There's a whole lotta Mosrite on here, as Buck Trent plays double stop Don Rich licks, single note lines, a little taste of "Memphis," etc. Plus, it's always great to catch some early Dolly.

KEITH RICHARDS, WITH ROLLING STONES, "HANG FIRE"

As any Stones fan knows, there's an awfully large pile of studio and live recordings of this band. Keith's playing is variable in quality. Here's a choice example of him playing a really solid solo, with that raunchy-yet-twangy quality that Telecasters can get better than any other guitar.

PHIL BAUGH, WITH BUDDY EMMONS, FIDDLIN' FRENCHIE BURKE, "CAJUN FIDDLE"

Here's more Phil Baugh with Frenchie and Buddy. On this tune, Phil is in more of a Nashville mode than a "fiddle tune" single note mode, with double stops, "banjo rolls," and bends using his foot-operated bending gizmo.

PHIL BAUGH, WITH BUDDY EMMONS, FIDDLIN' FRENCHIE BURKE, "BIG MAMOU"

More Phil Baugh, with some good coverage of his right hand picking technique on this cajun fiddle number. Phil takes a couple breaks here, as well as playing some fills-- with Emmons as a bonus. (It's always valuable to see what top-notch pickers do with two chords, and it's also always interesting to see hot Nashville cats playing more traditional material.)

thanks to Charlie McCardell for sending me this clip.

GLEN CAMPBELL, LARRY COLLINS, ETC., "FIVE DOLLARS AND IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT"

At 1:38, Glen Campbell (with Jazzmaster) and Larry Collins (Mosrite doubleneck) play some hip harmonized lines. (There are some fills elsewhere as well.) Plus, Faron Young, Lorrie Collins--- probably more that I'm forgetting.

At this point, people like "RockinGator" www.youtube.com/user/RockinGator

are posting twangy clips faster than I can watch 'em, much less post 'em and write about 'em. Thanks, RockinGator!

HANK GARLAND, WITH FLOYD TILLMAN, "SLIPPIN' AROUND"

Hank plays a nice solo around 1:13.

ROY BUCHANAN, WITH MUNDELL LOWE, "MISTY"

Here's an excerpt from the 1970s PBS special on Roy.

JUNIOR BARNARD WITH BOB WILLS, "GOODBYE LIZA JANE"

Here's a Junior clip with Wills; I don't think I've seen any other footage of him. He takes a solo around 1:05.

Many Junior transcriptions now available--
