WOW! Very sorry to hear that. I used to do some work in the same studio as he when he was on DOT Records. Fantastic guitar player and good guy as well. RIP Randy.

Very sad news, indeed. Randy was an immaculate guitarist and a great vocalist. And a totally nice guy. Condolences to his family.

Sad to hear. He was quite the player!

Buddie Hrabal · From: Arlington,Texas USA

Wow! I only got to work with Randy a few times at the Tony Booth Appreciation Day event. Truly a great player and a heck of nice guy. May God rest his soul.

Fantastic player and singer! I only met him one time and he was so nice. One of my all time favorites.. sorry to hear of his passing RIP Randy

Daniel McKee · From: Corinth Mississippi

He had an amazing cut of “sad eyes “ but recorded a number of good records.

Jerry Hayes · From: Virginia Beach, Va.

I remember a tune that got good air play when I lived in SoCal called "My Conscience feels guilty and sometimes I talk in my sleep".... A beautiful vocal by Randy. I also have that old Frenchie Burke LP with Big Mamou on it. My favorite cut on it is Orange Blossom Special where Randy plays a blazing hot solo........JH in Va.

Very sorry to hear of Randy's passing. I did a few shows that Randy was on when I lived around Houston and was in, off the road. What a great guy he was. His guitar playing and singing were tremendous.

Per Berner · From: SkÃ¶vde, Sweden

Based on his stellar performance dueling with Robbie Springfield behind Frenchie Burke, I bought his aptly named debut album "My first album" back in my early teens – and was not disappointed. Not only a great guitarist, but a really good singer too. "Play that song again about the loser" is on the playlist in my car, and will stay there.

Sometimes what you don't play is what matters. Musicians like Randy, who are true virtuosos and masters of speed but don't feel the need to show it all the time, are a rare breed. James Burton, Lloyd Green and the late, great drummer Kenny Malone come to mind...

The Randy Corner LP to look for "Fiddlin' Frenchie Burke And The Outlaws" 20th Century Fox T-479, released November 1975. This was a very influential guitar and steel guitar record with Randy Corner and Robbie Springfield coming on with some seriously hot twin and part playing. Like "Brisbane Bop" or anything by Bob Wills or Buddy Emmons, this is happy, upbeat music essential for your library. In an interview, Albert Lee said he had this LP in England and would woodshed along with it.

This only happens in Texas.

Here are a few examples - the whole LP is like this:

"Mama's Got The Know How"

I remember learning his parts for a tour with Frenchie Burke. Neil Flanz and I had to learn those super fast twin parts he did with the steel guitar (forget his name). Whe we first listened we looked at each other like, Oh shit!!

Roy Carroll · From: North of a Round Rock

Sorry we lost Randy. Fantastic guitar player and artist.
The steel player was Robbie Springfield. Fierce playing on both instruments.
