Maness) - Truckers Cafe - Ian & Sylvia, The Great Speckled Bird (Buddy Cage) - Jambalaya - Charlie Walker Live in Dallas (Bobby Garrett) - Dire Wolf - Greatful Dead (Jerry Garcia) - I Threw Away The Rose - Merle Haggard (Ralph Mooney) - My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You - Ray Price - (Jimmy Day-or was it Buddy?) That's a few for now. Joe |

Joe, It was indeed Dickey Overby on Johnny Bush's "I'll Be There". Johnny is cutting a new CD as we speak and Dickey is all over it! I can't wait for Johnny to release it! By the way Joe, can't wait to see you and your band play at Scotty's Convention this year!! Way to go!! |

Wayne, are you sure that was Dickey on I'll Be There? I always thought it was Buddy. It has that cool, funky midrange tone that Buddy was using in the 70's. It doesn't sound like a Sho Bud and think that is what Dickey has played all these years, right? ------------------ |

I wonder why nobody has mentioned yet "Christine´s Tune" by the Burritos with Sneaky Pete. Some of the most original and unbelievable steel playing ever. Also, some Waylon Jennings tunes with Mooney, for instance, "Never Been To Spain", "Lonesome Onry & Mean" and of course, "Rainy Day Woman". Talking about Mooney, don´t forget "You´re For Me" by Buck Owens.And JB Arnold is right - something by Buddy Cage does belong in there, "Panama Red" maybe being the most representative. But I could make up a Top Ten List of just New Riders Songs, anyway. Another good BC tune would be "Meet Me In The Morning" by Dylan. Hats off to Joe Goldmark - you mentioned some of my favorites and I put you on the list, too, with "Country Plow" by Terry & the Pirates. Completely turned my head 19 years ago. And something by Michael Nesmith with Red Rhodes- how about "Silver Moon". ------------------ |
