pretty sure that’s Jimmy Day. what a classic!

Jimmy included When Your House on his All Those Years album and Buddy wrote the liner notes. here’s what he had to say:

“One of my favorites on this album is ‘When Your House Is Not A Home.’ When I first heard the turnaround on the original recording, I flipped to say the least, and would always ask Jimmy to play it for me whenever we had our steels set up. I'm glad to see he included it in this album. It contains all the augmenteds and bar slants plus enough other surprises to make you back up your needle several times.”

Yes Scott. One of my very first albums. Classic steel guitar and classic Jimmy Day. Steel guitar music from the heart and soul.
A must for every steel guitar player and enthusiast. Lots of educational content there.

original link isn’t working so here it is again

and a live version by the song’s writer, Roger Miller. the steel break is near identical which makes me think it’s also Jimmy Day
