Time for another autographed album for you, this time from steel guitar wiz Buddy Emmons. I had flipped past this LP a few times in the stacks and didn't pay too much attention to it, but giving it a listen I though it was quite good. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, autograph or not. This is
Buddy Emmons-
Christmas Sounds Of The Steel Guitar (Step One Records SOR-0024, Stereo, 1987). Another one with the autograph right there on the front cover. No chance I was ever going to be able to remove that one, hence this series of autographed records.

Why do I know that name? Did he do one of those Power Pak Christmas albums?
ReplyDeletePossibly. He was a session payer for a long time and probably showed up in the credits of a thousand albums. I thought this was a budget deal until I investigated a bit more. This label seemed to specialize in albums from country artists who were a bit past their prime.
DeleteAlso I think it would be funny to recreate that album cover in my home.
ReplyDeleteOnly if you pose for the fancy picture. with a sprig of holly on your hat.
DeleteNow we have some real country music. Buddy Emmons was a heck of a player, but I am unsure about mixing steel guitar and "O Holy Night."
ReplyDeleteWell, if anyone can make it work...
DeleteThis is a fun one! I like his O Holy Night, by the way.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to mix in with some other stuff, but I thought it was a tough listen all the way through.
DeleteI must make a confession. I don't listen to many albums all the way through. I cherry pick! All apologies.
DeleteAnd I don't mean just Christmas music. I've never been much of an album guy.
Yeah, Me too. It's rare I listen to an LP as presented. I prefer to load up a bunch and hit shuffle.
