- TOM BRUMLEY: Hank Williams Medley on steelguitar.
Tom Brumley (1935-2009) was one of the most respected players in the business.He spend 6 years with Buck Owens and 10 years with Rick Nelson.
He was also with The Desert Rose Band for a couple of years.And he did a lot of studiosessions.He was son of Gospel songwriter Albert E. Brumley. - เพลง
Still listening in 2024.
Tom was the only steel player that really truly blended with Buck's style.
His playing on Dwight Yokham's "Johnsons Love" is a favourite of mine, he had such a beautiful flowing touch.
The proudest thing he ever told me was his dad was Albert E. Brumley - the composer of 'I'll Fly Away' and many other sacred songs. The roots of Tom's raisin' run deep. I didn't know he'd gone 'til now. Absolute gentleman. Gave me an hour of his life when in England with Rick Nelson. And he's up there with the best. RIP
how beautiful this is i love hank so much his music will never die ,im 81 and i have loved hank all of my life since early 1950 .and thanks to these artists we still can. the words just tear you apart.
Tom was one of the great Steel Players for sure!
Man what a soft touch. not many players can do this. From the driving sounds of Buck to Ricky. Tom could hold to any of the super steel players around. Very talented man. R.I.P.
i love steel guitar players like this.could listen all night.
Tom was one of the NICEST men I ever met a true gentleman!, I still have his and my picture together, I was a young wannabe Steel player,Toms playing is what made me want to play a pedal steel..Thank You Tom RIP
WOW!!! talk about a cryin' Steel Guitar. God bless and keep you Tom. The Angels don't play Harps in Heaven, they play Steel Guitars.
I like the idea of matching those two instruments together. Wonder if it's been done?
Love the steel. Today's music is missing so many of the instruments that started country music!!!

Nashville Music ain't Country Music anymore... That's a good song title....
Tom, the master of the pedals... Don, the master of the Telecaster.
Whenever I listen to this Medley ,all I can think of is Class Act >>> Master steel picker .>> Such a wonderful human being >>.Gone from this world way too soon >>>> What a beautiful rendition of Ol Hank's music >>>
I was transformed from Pop Music/Rock by my mother bringing 2 Buck Owens albums into the living room in around 1964 My Hear skips a beat and on the bandstand,I wore the holes out on those records,I will ALWAYS be a HUGE Buck Owens Don Rich,Tom Brumley Doyle Holly,Willie Cantu fan forever:) no band came close to them ever
Awesome 👌
The best of all times! R.I.P. Tom
ill never forget one time at the steel guitar convention at Fort Worth Tx Tom walked by me and I said I bet you never played "Together Again"have ya Tom smiled back and said I never heard that song before...What a great guy Tom was
This guy was just awsome all they years to perfect such a sound from a very complicated instrument I just hope he's no taken up the harp up there in the big sky way a great loss I'm 54 and only been playing for 4 years not quite accomplished as yet but can play a few tunes it must be one of the greatest sounding guitars in the world and there are so many different styles an sounds good bless Tom 😇🙏👌👏👏👏
lots of feeling in these songs..Great job!
one of the greatest steel players of all time !! He started the Bakersfield sound !! R.I.P. Tom !!
Tank you for dose lovely music.......
RIP Tom...You'll always be remembered and admired by this old picker. Love ya buddy...
Awesome player sadly missed these guys inspired us alto keep picking away thank you and God bless him and his family 🙏👍
I played a lot of great music with Tom in Germany in 1959, I always missed that bunch when I was transferred to France. Pete Morgan & the rock-a-billies was one of the best bands at the time in Germany, we had some really good musicians, I still miss you Tom. Jerry Howard
Awesome player! R.I.P. Tom!
Brumley's playing on the Buck Owens Carnegie Hall album is a virtual PHD thesis in pedal steel playing.
He is my connection to the 60, amazing
Only steel guitarist to win an award for his break in Together Again.
And as Tom said, it was a simple "lick". And that was true. All he did was to sustain the 3rd string by pressing his "A" pedal as he was moving his bar one fret flat on his 5th string. Thus the 3rd string stayed the same and the 5th string was flatted a half a tone.
That is all. But it caused a "sinking" sound that had never been heard on a Pedal Steel Guitar; and it fit Buck Owens' style to the "nth" degree. Most thought Tom just lowered the 5th string with a knee lever (and he did later). But that was impossible on the recording; because that guitar had NO knee levers. (Fender 1000 PSG)
God Bless him very nice man heard him play in St Louis great
probably the only steel player to make pedal steel work with Buck Owens music, he had the style and sound that just fit perfectly.
Really? What about Ralph Mooney, before Tom was Buck's steel player? Then again after Tom left Buck, what about JD Maness? And who could forget Terry Christofferson, just before Buck died? These were all outstanding steel guitar players for Buck's voice, without a doubt.
I will say that Ralph Mooney was Buck's greatest and Tom Brumley was the 2nd greatest. May Jesus bless their souls.
Not overpowering, sure soft and accurate showing his wonderful talent, just loved it!
Great player and very nice guy soo sad he is passed on God Bless you Tom for giving of yopurself in every song a another pedal steel guitar player tribute to you
me i am talking met you in St Louis in 1991 liked you immediatly see you some day I hope up in the big sky called heaven

great steel player
A lot of that awesome sound on this recording that Tom got, came from his steel. Truly one of the world's most unique Pedal Steel Guitars. Built in Australia and named Anapeg. The wood was hewn from the "outback" woods of Aussie land and aged for one year by Noel Andsted; behind his house; before he built them. There was a 6 yr wait for them. And they cost upwards of 6,000 dollars. A mechanical and wooden perfection UN precedented in all the years of pedal steel guitar production.
Noel was a perfectionist like Tom. The guitar was the finest built steel guitar ever built. Truly the "Stradivarius" of the steel guitar world. So together with Tom's unprecedented "touch"; no other combination would have produced this unbelievable sound. Truly spine tingling. Of course, Tom "milked" it to the "nth" degree; because of the natural genius he was; gifted to him by Jesus at birth. Like his famous father.
"The apple does not fall far from the tree!"
The only other steel that could have even come close was the pre-war Bakelite Rickenbacker lap steel. Tom, Wayne Tanner and I found our "Ricks" about the same time; that we had hunted for many years. Several tunes on this recording with Steve Wariner Tom used his "Rick". One was "Steel Guitar Rag" and he emulated almost perfectly, what Jerry Byrd had done when he first recorded it in the 40's on his Rick. Hawaiian Wedding song was another one.
Awesome renditions by Tom. I know of NO steel player that ever played HW's "Cold, Cold heart" that did it as beautifully as Tom did. This goes for the other songs by Hank on this recording. Unbelievably beautiful. The sound and phrasings are unequalled. Hank would have flipped out over Tom's playing I guarantee ya.
RIP dear friend.
I dearly loved him for his kindness to me over many years. No words could express how thrilled I was when Tom graciously agreed to perform at the Steel Guitar Extravaganza show I produced in Atlanta in 1997.
I shall NEVER forget him. Truly one of the finest steel players of all time. Music lost one of the greatest musicians ever when Tom passed. My sincerest sympathies and condolences to his precious wife Rolene.
May Jesus bring you comfort as you deal with life without him,
carl dixon
pat dee Agreed but still people are wondering what instrument he used on what tune.
On this medley, it was all on the Anapeg; pictured at the beginning of the video and shown several times later. On the album, "Steel Guitar Rag" and "Hawaiian wedding song" were on Tom's 7 string Rickenbacher.
The rest of course were on his Anapeg. There may be one other song that was on his Rick, but I don't recall it.
The Rick was a pre-1937 bakelite, pre WWII guitar. Later Rickenbacher sold their business to a man that changed the basic design and ruined the sound; even though he adamantly said it didn't. But Jerry Byrd said it was not the same. That is proof enough for me.
As I stated in the first comment; Tom, Wayne Tanner (JB clone!) and I got our 7 string Ricks about the same time; EVEN though all 3 of us searched for them for over 40 yrs.
The 7 string Prewar Ricks are very rare and extremely hard to find, because so few were ever made. And they would not have done that if JB had not insisted on it.
The tuning on the Rick was hi to lo: E, C, A, G, E, C#, C believe it or not. Jerry came up with that to provide a 7th; if you leave out the 2nd string. But he still had the bottom C in C a Major or 6th chord if you leave out the 6th string, etc.
Crazy but works like a charm once you get used to it. If it was not for this tuning, JB would not have gotten those awesome 7th's like in "Cocoanut Grove", "Steel Guitar Rag" and so many others.
For whatever it's worth.
Nice
They look lovely 😍 together ❤ 😍 make me think of mine
