Honky tonk 4/4 – does it get any better than this?

Post by Per Berner »

I was playing my circa 1000-track thumb drive in my car today and this old favorite from the early eighties came up – Billy Parker singing "If I Ever Need a Lady" with Darrell McCall on harmony vocals. Buddy Emmons and Doyle Grisham are both listed as steel players on the album cover, I'd guess Buddy but I could be wrong... Anyway, 10 out of 10, enjoy!

Good tune. Had a steel club member sing that song back when we had one. Nice shuffle.

I don't hear Buddy there, but I've been wrong before...boy, have I.

I'll agree with Jerry on this one - it doesn't sound like Buddy to me. But feel free to disagree.
