| One of my all time favorite albums. Cage was one of a small handful of pedal steel players who inspired me to get into this nutty instrument. Powerglide was the first LP I bought of theirs, then I sought out and bought every darn thing they ever did, including the legit bootlegs they put out not so long ago. Thanks for posting this as I now am getting back into relearning a bunch of these just for fun. |

Just listened again.. Man,..Hello Marylou,Dead Flowers,Sutters Mill, and Henry were something special...
Buddy and his sharp staccato rythmic vamping and his crisp blocking were the basis of my early focus concerning country rock pedal steel. Spent so many hours, night after night, day after day sometimes to 3 am working on his muting and vamping stylings. SO many otherwise very good steelers don't really ever grasp these techniques these days.
Buddy at the time had an inner "clock" like no other.. His sense of time was very precise. His vamps, fills and even his solos are always square with the bass drum and bass. He has a terrific sense of where "one" is..
A lot of guys don't.. He was and is a "band" steel guy.. My kind of "band guy".. NEVER let the guitars or vocals push him around, got his licks out there regardless, and knew where "one" was at all times... bob

Mickey that is just Great! It was Jerry, Buddy, and Rusty that got me started on this journey. Also Scotty for taking time with a young knucklehead, to teach me and turn me on to all the other great steel players.
Back in the 70s, like Bob, I spent more time moving the needle on the album to learn Buddy Cage licks, than any other of my influences.
Thanks Buddy. I appreciate your talent and how you helped me learn to play this damn thing!

Boy that album brings back a lot of memories. I had and probably still have somewhere a cassette version that I kept in my car back when cars still had cassette players and played it over and over everywhere I went for years.I used to listen to his licks & solo on She's No Angel and then back the tape up and hear it again and again until I could play it back in my mind. Buddy Cage was the epitome of west coast chickin pickin E9 and I love how he just goes for it and lets it rip at all times and when he's not soloing, he's just kind of percolating in the background. I've heard people say he overplayed and stepped all over everything compared to someone like Jay Dee but I really didn't care when Buddy did it. When I started producing records I kinda realized you can't really do that very often but he got away with it cause he plays so damn interesting and NRPS was just the right band for that.
When I hear that record now I realize how many licks I lifted from him back in the 70s and 80s. |

| No I meant regular cassettes. The last car I had with a cassette player was a 1977 Audi I bought from Don McGinnis. I did have a "hang down" 8-track player in my 66 Mustang. I used to hate how they would switch tape directions/swap tracks in the middle of a song. My brother Bill used to have an old functioning 8-track player nailed to the end of his garage work bench as recently as 1994. |
