Has anyone heard this album ? Doug is absolutely awesome! Doug, if I may, what guitar were you using? I love Capt. Sam, and never knew you did either! You truly sound great on this one...

Yeap, he is my very favorite for various reasons! In fact, yesterday I got the CD version of his "Uptown to Country" (Diggin Doug) from an Ebay auction. I listened to it at work today. I have the cassette, but really enjoy this remix a lot better and the convenience of random selection.
I have never heard of the album you mentioned.
As for the guitar he used, based on the year the album was made, we could make a good guess.
Basically, Doug played Sho~Buds after playing an Emmons push-pull on "Uptown to Country" in 1970. At some point after that, he went with Sho~Buds. I suspect some little fallout with Emmons Guitar Co.
I know Doug played Sho~Buds at least until 1983 when he recorded his first Gospel instrumental album, which is a dandy.
Doug played a Mullen on the 1986 "Jazz on 10" recording and I think he played a Nashville LTD for a little while after that. Not sure what year.
I am not sure when he went with Zum, but that is what he plays now.
He still owns at least 2 Sho-Bud Super Pros. One he leaves setup at the church where plays and one in his music room.
Doug is first class all the way!
Now, we all need to convince him to make a Christmas CD. He has talked about it, but I think he was having second thoughts when I asked him about it several months ago. He replied, "Do you think it will sell?"

| Doug fan here. He was one of the GIANTS I listened to when I first moved to Nashville and he still is. Haven't heard this album yet but I'm sure the playing is wonderful. Go Doug. |

The Album Doug recorded with Bucky Pizzarelli in the early 1970's "Doug & Bucky" is what really blew my mind about steel. I had never heard anything like that before. After that, Doug was my first steel guitar hero.
This album is probably not even in print. I think I must have bought one of the only copies!!! Anyway, It was a terrific album. Bucky Pizzarelli is a monster 7 string jazz guitarist famous for his fast melody chording.
Doing that album took a lot of work, and it showed the immense talent of both of these gifted artists. 30 years ago!!!
