I was reading the booklet that came with a Chet Atkins CD and they talked about an album by the Country All Stars that was comprised of Chet, Jerry, Homer, & Jethro performing String Jazz Selections. One song included on the cd by them was "Darkness On the Delta" that had alot of Jerry Byrd playing on it. I noticed they have it listed at Amazon.com |

Wayne: I vividly recall that album and that song. They were milestones for me when I was a kid just getting started in this Steel Guitar World. Thanks for bringing it back !! Regards, Paul |

Those tracks are re-issued on the CD "Jazz From the Hills". http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00000ARI2/qid=1104850621/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-5738545-3060716?v=glance&s=music According to Jerry Byrd, the cuts were mostly recorded to kill time between recording sessions when they were all "A Team" session players on the early Nashville scene. |

I have 2 of the original 78's on RCA Victor,"disc jockey samples",w/ white labels. "Darkness On The Delta" b/w "In A Little Spanish Town" and "Indiana March" b/w "Sweet Ga. Brown" The pickers listed on the label are: I have ordered this CD,'cause I loved what they did on these 78's. Can't wait to get it. I,also,have an album,(vinyl),entitled,"Identified",by the Nashville String Band,which consists of Chet,Homer,& Jethro. No other pickers (drums,bass,etc.) are listed on the album. The album was released in 1971. ------------------ |

Those tunes were largely recorded during a lull while the musicians were waiting for the next vocalist to appear for his session. It turned out to be Bobby Williamson who did a great job on four sides (Just Skip It; I Remember; etc.) The late Dale Potter, on fiddle is also heard on that series; his tunes "Fiddle Sticks" and "Fiddle Faddle" are both in that set, I'd imagine. I think they did an outstanding job on "The Lady in Red".........more jazzy, for that day and age. |

I was reading the book about Atkins guitars and in it he mentions doing a daily radio show on WSM-just Atkins and Jerry Byrd. Man, would you like to hear some of that!! |
