Nauhoitin radiosta (!) joskus 80-luvun alussa 'Nashville Superpickers'-nimellä kuulutetun kokoonpanoon esittämän kappaleen 'New York Cowboy'.
Jäi silloin epäselväksi, ketkä muusikot tuohon yhdistelmään kuuluivat... vaikka arvelinkin toki Nashvillen 'huippuja' liikkeellä olleen.
Sain tänään selville - olivat:
Phil Baugh (guitar),
Buddy Emmons (steel guitar),
Charlie McCoy (harmonica),
Johnny Gimble (fiddle),
Hargus 'Pig' Robbins (piano),
Russ Hicks (guitar),
Henry Stzelecki (bass) ja
Buddy Harman (drums).
Yhtyeelle oli kerrankin annettu osuva nimi!
Mahtoikohan ilmestyä albumeja?

'Nashville Super Pickers' (tai 'Nashville Superpickers') ... tuota nimitystä kannattaa nykyisin kyllä varoa, jos aikoo todella ostaa noiden mainitsemiesi 80-luvun studiomestarimuusikoiden alkuperäissoitoksia. Tuolla samalla nimityksellä myydään nykyisin nimittäin laarikaupalla kaikenlaista instrumentaalimuzakkia, millä ei ole tuon mainitsemasi 'yhtyeen' kanssa enää mitään tekemistä. Google-haulla löytyy kaikenlaista tavaratalo- ja hissitaustaa saman otsikon alta. Haggardillekin oma kunnianosoitus - sentään.
Buddy Harman, the father of modern drummers and creator of the country shuffle, picked up the tempo until his death.
Even in his sleep.
"I just went into Dad's room," daughter Summer Harman revealed in June as her dad battled congestive heart failure.
"And he was playing drums in his sleep. He had a smile on his face and was tapping on his chest."
Harman had a good reason for taking his beat with him into dreams - he played on 18,000 sessions in a career starting in the fifties.
They embraced country, pop, rock and its many hybrids.
He worked most sessions with the celebrated A Team of studio musicians who shaped the Nashville Sound of the 1950s and '60s.
He performed on Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire, Roger Miller's King of the Road and Tammy Wynette's Stand by Your Man, along with scores of hits by Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Dolly Parton, Ray Price and others.
Harman also made his mark on the pop charts, making distinctive contributions to records like the Everly Brothers' Bye Bye Love, Elvis Presley's Little Sister, Simon and Garfunkel's Boxer (as a percussionist), Roy Orbison's Oh, Pretty Woman, to intimate cocktail jazz, on Cline's Crazy, and uptempo Brenda Lee's Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.
He played - bass, not drums - on Ringo Starr's 1970 country album, Beaucoups of Blues.
Harman also picked up the tempo many Elvis soundtrack recordings in Nashville and Los Angeles.
His clients included Connie Francis, Chet Atkins, Marty Robbins, Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings, Lynn Anderson, Kenny Rogers, Perry Como, Merle Haggard, Charlie Rich, Jimmy Dean, Ann Margret, Nancy Sinatra, O.C. Smith, George Burns, Reba McEntire and many others.
He also toured Europe with Jerry Lee Lewis and the Nashville Super Pickers Band.
