I just heard an amazing C6th version of this on Steelradio - anyone know who the player might have been ?

Probably Curley Chalker, he did a great version of it on "Big Hits" I think it was.

Try his album "More Ways to Play". I'm pretty sure it's on there.

I don't believe it's on "More Ways to Play" either. If there is a recorded version around of Curly doing it I'd sure like to lay my hands on it....

It's Not on More Ways to Play.

It's on Counterpoint, 4th tune on side B.

thanks everyone.
Two more questions :
1) what's the best Curley Chalker CD to go for as a starter
2) where can I get it ? (already checked Scotty's & couldn't find anything by him)
Thanks

It's on Counterpoint. On Tom Bradshaw's reissue (which is what I have) it's the second song on side one.

Counterpoint is a wonderful album. One of the very best steel guitar records ever made. If you don't have it, you're missing something very special.

I have been in touch with Tom B and am aiming to get all 5 of the Curly Chalker cassettes he has in stock
