Big Beat Steve Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 I have this track by Bobby Sisco on one or two rockabilly compilation LPs. Will check the liner notes ASAP to see if they indicate the name of the steel player. Quote
JSngry Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Posted July 23, 2009 It's one of those Mar-Vel things (for all their reputation as a "rockabilly" label, most of what they put out seems to be more along the lines of "Western Swing" on its way to becoming rockabilly...)...I'm at work now and can't devote a lot of time to finding it, but there is a label photo somewhere on the net...no personnel listed (unlike some one or two things on the label)...but if we could get a name, that would be great...probably some "local" guy...lost forever, maybe...

WD45 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 For my ear, Speedy West was a little TOO nuts, based on those two compilations that float around out there. TONS UPON TONS of chops, but abuses them. Give me Buddie any day! But what is really exciting... Ms. Nikki D! Quote
WD45 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Posted July 23, 2009 Dig the tone on this vid: I am pretty sure that it is due to the quality of the recording itself. That amount of tone would cause anyone to have visions. Quote

This source says "Honky Tonikin' Rhythm" was recorded for Mar-Vel at Universal Studios in Chocago and Bill MCall was involved in the production too. http://www.rockabilly.nl/references/messages/bobby_sisco.htm So maybe that steel man was a session player either from Harry Glenn's Mar-Vel roster or from Universal Studios? Don't know if this would narrow down or in fact widen the search but it might be a lead. Maybe info about the Mar-Vel label itself would yield something? The "Mar-Vel Masters" LP series released in the late 70s on the Cowboy Carl label has pretty extensive liner notes (unfortunately I only have Vol. 2 but not Vol. 3 which has this Bobby Sisco track - I have "Honky Tonkin' Rhythm" on 2 other compilations - but judging by the liner notes on Vol. 2 they cover the ground pretty well). Haven't found anything online yet but there must be some rockabilly/hillbilly collecting nut out there (on or off the web) who has this info at his fingertips so it might be worth a search ... Quote

WD45 Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Is there anything like this happening in country now, and I am just missing it? Quote
JSngry Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Posted July 26, 2009 Curly Chalker on those tunes reminds me of when Trane would come in after Miles and everything would just...change a little bit until he got back out...not everybody can do that. Now here's an interesting clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8z2qvcHBCM...feature=related Is there anything like this happening in country now, and I am just missing it? Locally, here in Texas, yeah, to some extent. But it's very much a cult thing. Quote
