Live Bryant and West recordings?

Post by Joel Glassman »

I'm told there are live Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West recordings on an import label, but can't find info. They are not part of the Razor & Tie compilations or the Bear family box set. It is a reissue label (like Jasmine for instance)and I'm told there are introductions by Tennessee Ernie too.
Thanks for any info. A Google search turns up nothing. Also, there is an episode of Cliffie Stone's Hometown Jamboree from the early 50's that features the boys doing "Flying High". Has anyone seen this?

OK--Gonna answer my own question!
I forgot to search the old "Bar Chatter" archive. Info is there: http://steelguitarforum.com/Archives/Archive-000003/HTML/20011227-1-012553.html

That clip of "Flying High" and the Tennessee Ernie soundies are great, although I have not yet seen them in A grade picture quality. Talk about showmanship!

I have a CD titled "There's Going To Be A Party" that has some live stuff. It's transcripts from the Tennessee Ernie show. It was made in the Czech Republic copyrighted 2000 by Jasmine Records. It has live recordings of Jimmy and Speedy on 6 of the 30 cuts. Hope this helps...rj
