I wonder who the steel picker is in this song? Great stuff for sure. Maybe Paul Franklin? I know he's good with Mooney stuff. Could be Moon too, but I'm having doubts about it.

Moon did for sure have Waylon's back. He laid the right licks in the right places at the right time.Jody.

Well Guys, the picker you hear is a dear friend of Mr. Moon himself, Mike Headrick, of Country Discovery Records, Out of Jasper, Tn.
Mikes' as close to Moon as you'll Ever hear. Wonderful picker, check out some great music, plus this album, "Moon Shine" at Mikeheadrick.com, tell Mike Chuck sent Ya !!!,
You won't be disappointed with any selection from Mike's discography.

Thanks for the info Chuck. I'm familiar with Mike Headricks work, and I have some of his CD's. Great picker, and he sure knows the Mooney stuff. I didn't know that was him on the tribute song though - great picking on that one. I think I'm going to have to order some more of Mike's CD's with Mooney picking. I can't get enough of it.

God Bless and comfort the Moon as he walks through the valley.

I love the tune, my band, Super Grit Cowboy Band started doing it this pasr weekend. We use it as a lead in to "Rainy Day Woman."

Fellows,
Thank you for your interest in the song. Red Kilby and I did it last year in Dallas. My set was mainly a Ralph Mooney tribute and Moon was on the front row with a big smile. Chuck mentioned my CD tribute called "Moonshine". The song is also on that CD with Tommy Jennings (Waylon's brother) singing it. He sounds a LOT like "The Hoss".

All the tributes in the world would not be sufficient to pay proper homage to Moon for the music he has left us and the influence he's had on most or all of us. May God bless him forever!
