More Music from the Attic
Jim Taylor
Jim was one half of Taylor and Stone, a cool little duo that played a lot down in Green Hills (right south of Nashville proper).
I may have met Jim either through Rusty or Redhawk, not sure, but he ended up recording several things in the studio over the years and it was always a blast. He'd usually show up with some local pickers and proceed to bang out a couple songs before the sun went down.
I always loved working in the studio with Jim. He had this 80-20 kind of attitude toward recording. Basically always leaning toward a better feel for a track rather than a more polished/technical performance.
Robbie Bond
The Bond session was where I first had the pleasure of playing bass alongside of Chip Staley on drums. And he was friggin' amazing. So much so, that years later when he switched to playing guitar in his own band, I had a hard time wrapping my head around it. (But I do get how those creative itches come a calling!)
Harry Dial
Not much to say about Harry Dial. Other than mind blowing.
Here's someone who looks like an accountant from HR Block who plays guitar like and old black guy from the deep south! It's utterly amazing!
He did several projects in the studio over the years and the results were always absolutely phenomenal.
Randi Gould
This is the kind of thing I'd routinely run into in Nashville. Here's someone that sounds like they should be opening for Stan Kenton or Benny Goodman -- along with the musicians to back it up!
Talk about in from left field!
