| The power of the name Emmons. I would never have listened to that whole thing if it hadn't been for Buddy's contribution. He played great....Go figure. |

I thought as I was watching it that it looked like Church Street Staion in Orlando, FL. And sure enough at the end she mentioned that.
Nice job by both and Buddy hit all the licks.
Too bad the place is no more.

Anybody who is a fan of Buddy Emmons should seriously get John Hartford's albums "Slumberin' on the Cumberland" and "Nobody Knows what you do". (The latter is available on CD so it should be easy to find). On these albums the Big E plays steel on almost every song, and he plays dobro on the rest.
Benny Martin is on fiddle and vocals. Pig Robbins is on both albums, as are several other Nashville session players. Sam Bush is on mandolin.
Emmons is also on a couple other Hartford albums, but these two are probably the best. |

There is a Benny Martin album "Tennessee Jubilee" on Flying Fish with a lot of those same players that has Buddy on Dobro and some steel. Most memorable is his Travis thumb style steel ride on a song "That's A Good Enough Reasn To Be In Love With You". In Dallas one year I asked Buddy about that album. He said he and Benny Martin went way back and that his first session when he arrived in Nashville had been with Benny. Martin.
