It's a Big Old Heartache - Wilburn bros.

Post by Brett Lanier »

This song has one of my favorite steel intros and turnarounds. It's just awesome. I'd have to guess that it's Hal Rugg, or maybe Curly Chalker but I can't be sure. I have a version of it on an LP titled "two for the show", but thats the only place I've been able to find it. I'm afraid I'll lose or scratch the record and I won't be able to hear it again. The live version on YouTube is nothing like the studio version.

If anyone that knows what I'm talking about can point me towards a digital copy of this, a tab of the intro, or even post it on YouTube for others that would be great. Btw, the bass drum in this song does that cool boom, buh-boom thing that happens so much on the panther hall recording. Thanks!

No, but thanks for trying Paul. The studio version intro is similar to "don't come home a drinkin", the groove too, but faster and with more double stops.
