Typically understated, yet brimming with confidence. Buddy could play that style of E9 to perfection, yet always with the odd moment 'out of the box' with flat 3rds and 5ths for that Emmons nuance.

There'll never be another!

Just amazing: the phrasing, the tone, the ideas, the execution - the whole enchilada in 3:17.

Daaaannnggg!!!!

After reading Fish's new book about him, these old clips are in a whole new light. Just fantastic!

I always wonder about great singers I’ve never heard of showing up on random A-Team YouTubes like this. Greg Trostle was a singer in Pirates Of The Mississippi, so he wasn’t one of Buddy’s “Tex Nobody” types that he just happened to end up on stage with. That bluesy solo sits perfectly with the song, and you can hear some of the crowd and bandmember reaction to it.

That was a nice one of Buddy. Thanks for posting Norman.

There is no one like the Big E. I feel blessed to have seen him several times at steel shows.

Roger, you are so right!…Buddy was the true master of the steel guitar and there will not be another in our lifetime.
