Great song samples - am waiting for the upload to iTunes. Already have my tickets to hear her next month at Knucklehead's in Kansas CIty!
Any idea as to what car she was photographed in for that CD cover? Early 60's Continental perhaps?? |

Randy,
I have all of Amber's CDs, and will be ordering this one ASAP. I really appreciate y'all keeping real country music alive, and doing it so well.
By the way, Dicky's ShoBud is my favorite steel guitar tone. Didn't I read that it used to be yours? Would you mind sharing what kind of pickup he has in it?

Bill - it'll sure be tough trying to wrangle that LDG away from him!...he absolutely LOVES that guitar...
Jim - thanks, so much, for your kind words...we're just doing the music we love to perform...and havin' on helluva time doin' it!... ...the pickup on the LDG is the original pickup...and hasn't been re-wound to my knowledge...Bill Terry may can provide more info about that...he's the gentleman that was kind enough to sell me the guitar...and I gave it to Dicky...he makes it sound MUCH better than I can!!!...

Wow, those samples sound super. This is a *must have* CD for me. I've got all the others, but this CD, live, is killer. : )

Randy, that pickup is the original, but it went all tinny and microphonic a couple of years before I sold it to you, so I had Jerry Wallace rewind to original spec.. I couldn't tell a bit of difference in the 'before' and 'after' rewind tone.. Even the tap position is the same. I will say I can tell a difference in tone in the hands of Dickie vs me..
I can understand why he likes it, that guitar absolutely sings up high.. That's one I should have kept, but I'm so glad it ended up where it did.
BTW, you guys sound great on the record. How did you record it? I'm guessing it wasn't off the house system?

| Bill...on the recording we pretty much used all the equipment, there at Swiss Alp...they have a pretty good PA...Justin Trevino brought his HD recorder and some mics...and the live recording engineer brought some mics, as well...but yeah...that was pretty much it...simple, straight ahead...and no nonsense...amber and i are really proud of the project...and feel that it's a good representation of an Amber Digby show...all the boys in the band played great!...I'm glad to hear you dig it...'preciate it, brother... |

Randy,
I received the CD; two days' shipping from HOT Records.
The sound samples don't do it justice. It is a must-have for fans of Amber, Midnight Flyer, and real Country music. And Dicky, oh man...

I just ordered the CD to round out the entire collection of Amber I already own! I do really like the sound of that Sho~Bud he plays, but I think it's Dickey's playing style more than anything. Good ol' honky-tonk music!! Keep them coming.
I had Jerry Wallace rewind the pickups on my SuperPro and Pro III as they had become microphonic, they sound like the original S~B winds! |

Hey Randy, gotta say, that is also some very nice guitar work...always 'appropriate', and spot-on. I particularly liked the guitar on "Deep As Your Pocket", "Ain't Nothing Shakin'" and "If Anyone Ought To Know" (what kinda cheez-fuzz is that??? it's perfect!!!)
