Buddy, I met you soon after your return to Nashville from California and what an honor. In another post you list the Blue Bayou solo as one of your favorites. I am curious as to what grabs you about that solo. I would also like to know if you ever recorded anything with Linda Ronstadt while in California or any other time. Thank you so much. Tommy |

What I like about the Blue Bayou solo is the moody, laid back and unorthodox style Dan used to deliver a melody that didn’t exist in the song yet was so identifiable to the Bayou theme. I’m a big fan of the movie, Man on Fire and I’d almost bet the farm that the musical director chose Dan’s segment of the recording for that reason. Yes I recorded with Linda while living in California. |

Understood. What a great description, but I would expect no less from you. Thank you so much Big E. I recently saw another movie that featured Dan's entire solo to Blue Bayou and it was very nice in the context in which it was used. So recognizable.

That solo was one of the pieces of steel guitar history that made me want to play pedal steel. Dan Dugmore has been the inspiration to many steel players. He is a wonderful person and his list of recording credits is immense. Thanks for recognizing him here by his peers. He deserves it. |

Did too also Tony. That's when I had to find a new needle for the turntable... The nicest thing about hearing the tune in the movie at the theatre, was that you knew what was coming when you first heard the tune start, so you had a chance to get really ready for it. Thru the theatre sound system, it was beautiful! The only fear was that the editor was gonna interrupt the tune by dialog before the steel break.

Thanks Tony for posting the video. As usual I'm playing it all wrong. Our band doesn't play much anymore but when we do this song is on the list. Pure pedal steel. |

Check out Rebel, Ricky, and Jeffs site for an mp3 and tab. http://users.interlinks.net/rebel/steel/1977.html Plus the break from "Home" right below is a good one too. |

Hey Tommy, Buddy was on the album simply entitled "Linda Rondstat" that was released in 1971. One side of the album was live with Sneaky Pete, and Emmons (and I think maybe Weldon) were on the other side. Definitely one of two records that made me buy my first steel--some truly classic Buddy on that record. Here is the allmusic.com link to the credits... |

When I hear a song in a movie, or on the radio, and a song I really love, it seems to take on another dimension. Yeah, I can play that song over and over on my home sound system and it sounds great. But when you're sitting in a cinema with other folks around, there's this goose-bump quality that comes over me knowing that some more of the world is digging [I hope] what I dig and love. Do you guys feel this way? Like you're thinking to the folks around you, "hey, is this steel guitar something else, or what?" When you play it at home, only you are hearing it. But when played in a film or on radio, others are hearing it as well. It's like for a brief moment we are all one with each other and the world. Music is that powerful. |

Blue Bayou has definitely been one of my all time favorites for steel breaks. Just some fantastic playing and great tone as well. |
And, man, I love that Blue Bayou solo, too.All times are Pacific (US) | next newest topic | next oldest topic |
