Very well could be Jerry Byrd. Sounds like his touch and tone.
The back up vocals sound like the Glaser brothers.

Walter is correct - BIG is correct - Joe Talbott - he told me one time that he had "Fleetwood" in his knee because Hank insisted that Joe seat in the front seat on the road (before tour busses) Hand 5' ish and Joe 7' footish - he said that just wished those old Caddy's had split seats.
