Reggie young is THE sound of 80s country, let alone the rest of his amazing career.
Thanks again Joe for keeping these wonderful interviews coming. Most people don't realize that being inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame is the highest honor you can receive being a musician, even more so than a Grammy as I think most would tell you.
Thanks Michael.... Merry Christmas to you and family...Joe
Woah, so he played the Sitar on the Box Tops hit! Now I know. Priceless.
He also played the sitar on B J Thomas Hooked On a Feeling
@@michaelcollums4197 that is really fascinating! What talent. I’m sure glad that sitar was laying around and he decided to grab it and give it a try. I can’t imagine those records without that vibe.
It’s such a distinct part. I never knew til now either. Though I doubt “They” are right about it being the first Top-40 with a Sitar / sitar sound. Maybe the first American - based group... you’d figure the Beatles would be the first-first. Or... “They” mean specifically the Coral-Sitar instrument as opposed to the traditional original Indian instrument.
@@mattkaustickomments As far as I can figure out, Norwegian Wood was the first Western song with sitar on it but it wasn't a single (at least not in the US and UK) . A lot of what we now consider classic songs were never released as singles, so they never made the "Top 40". It's probably correct that "Cry Like A Baby" was the first top 40 song, though not the first Western song.
That all makes sense. It seems like it was Nora Jones Dad that contributed a legit Sitar to some Beatles stuff. I saw what was left of the “Box Tops” on a Happy Together tour about 3 years ago and the member that was now singing lead also played the faux Sitar. That was a nice touch. I imagine if he hadn’t, a keyboard player would have needed to pluck something out to emulate that sound. This is all very interesting.
I loved the way he talked about him and Bobby Womack learning from each other. Womack was another genius.
Joe I've been waiting for this . Brilliant. From Ireland.
It's amazing that he could remember pretty much all of the songs he played on. And that was a bunch! Wow! Great history.
Joe, thank you so much for another gem of an interview, personally, I wish you had the opportunity to interview guys like Carl Perkins, John Fogerty, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Keith Richards, Paul Simon, George Harrison, Leon Russell etc... because you're the best and only man for that job. You guide the interview perfectly, most insightful, with your knowledge, class, plus, the artists you interview are totally at ease, relaxed and obviously enjoying themselves talking to someone who understands the creative and technical process that we find so endlessly fascinating...bravo, Pal...
Lee.... you’re obviously a genius:). Actually that’s very humbling to hear. I’m very appreciative for such a thoughtful comment. Merry Christmas to you and family... thanks again...Joe
Lee, I have suggested the same thing. Anybody with connections to any of the living greats needs to share these videos with them, so they can be convinced to be interviewed by Joe. Please share this youtube channel with everybody you know!
(again) THANK YOU JOE!!!!
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum same to you, My Brother...
Thank you too Tom... very kind of you... Joe
The back in Memphis lp is my favorite Elvis stuff..Bobby Womack keeps coming up in reference to how solid a player he was...the coral sitar also got used on those Delfonics songs..i took a break from watching Danny Gatton videos right now because im addicted to this channel
Thanks for watching Robert... Joe
People don't realize just how special Reggie was. I didn't for a long time but then I started playing guitar in bars with country cover bands. Learning all these songs I came to a point of finding out who played guitar on this song or that. I was blown away to find that Reggie played on nearly all of the songs that I had admired so much. His career spanned so many decades that it was hard for me to believe that a man in the 60's was just as potent in the 90's. That was Reggie! Brent Mason is the closest I have seen to have that impact but one thing in common. They could disguise their playing to an individual artist. Thanks Joe and I love your channel!
Thanks for watching Fiddlefolk……Joe
Another great interview.!
Such legendary players and hits.
Reggie was one of the first guitarist to use a volume pedal listen to his use of it on Danny Okeefe Good time Charlie's Got the Blues, and was playing touch harmonics before Tommy Emmanuel listen to Steve Wariner's You Can Dream of Me, there are too many to list. Reggie kept notebooks of his recording dates go to reggieyoung.org too see just how many songs he played on that you know.
I love that you’re chronicling this history. It’s like the history channel but interesting.
Thanks for watching Scott...Joe
Womack playing upside-down was the first thing I noticed. I've played like that for over 40 years now. Lol
Thanks for sharing Johnny...Joe
Love Reggie. Is there 3 parts to this one? Don't want to miss any. Thanks Joe.
Hi W…… This was a very early interview I did in one of my Nashville guitar shops while the first museum location was being built. I don’t think we have anymore of it to share. It we have anything else I will try to share it with you at sometime. Best, Joe
Amazing that Reggie played the first Sitar on a rock record! I never would have known that Joe. Thanks for these incredible interviews. Happy Holidays to you & yours..........
Hi Steve... yeah I think they meant electric sitar... Best...Joe
HA!! i remember hearing that electric sitar for the first time. i had to find out what the heck that sound was!
memphis with the blonde hair blue eyed soul! this is one of my most favorite guitarists
edit: aw shit he brought up pensacola florida! pcola! i was stationed there for 4 years!
Great video and history combined.
Fantastic interview Many Thanks Joe the sitar isn't easy to play good for him
Thanks Nelly...Joe
Thank you for these! Absolute American history
Thanks for watching FB....Joe
✨”Reggie Young’ gives a truly outstanding performance on the ‘Coral-Sitar’ on “Cry like A Baby” by ‘The Box Tops’ ✨👁
Absolutely...and my favourite Boxtops record.
Reggie looks and sounds so good here. 2005 huh? So he only lived another dozen or so years. His ‘57 Strat and ‘69 Tele should be on display at your place, Joe.
Hi Mark..... We have a few of Reggie’s guitars. Maybe we’ll add more in the future... Merry Christmas...Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Joe, do you have the acoustic that Reggie played on Elvis’ In the Ghetto?
Yes
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum WOW.
Thanks again Joe for this continuation of Reggie Young. Great stuff as always and i learned a lot. Your style of interviewing is so awesome, unique and totally unmatched.
Have a beautiful Christmas !!
Thank you Ivan... Merry Christmas..Joe
Gene Chrisman. AWESOME drummer. Sublime feel. Suspicious Minds was, no doubt, his crowning glory, but EVERYthing he did had that touch of class.
Thanks Watson.... best, Joe
Man Gene Chrisman is a great guy.. live close to him .. was at his house the other day and talked about the music business .. just a wonderful guy
Greatest guitarist ever born, in my opinion and I like my opinion. RIP and miss you Reggie!!
I wish there was a conversation with Al Bell and maybe some studio talk about the song, Point of no Return, Bobby Womack.
It’s interesting to me that Bobby W played left handed, and with the high strings on the upper part of the fretboard and the lower strings on the bottom. Kind of makes sense in a way to have the high strings up and low strings down doesn’t it?
Anything from Glen Campbell Joe ?
Hi Robert.... I didn’t have a chance to interview Glen. Glen did visit the museum shortly after we opened in 2006 but just to present me a new Glen Campbell Ovation signature guitar since at the time we did not have one of his guitars.Since then we acquired two of his historic guitars used on the G.C tv show and Beach Boy and other sessions. The video I do have was shot during his visit to the museum that day in 2006 visiting with old friends and fans. Thanks for watching...Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Thanks Joe, l often smile to myself when l remember Glen saying " you're probably asking yourself, is there any beginning to that man's talent". Happy Christmas Joe.
Merry Christmas to you and family too Robert...Joe
Yea, Elvis Smelvis, but he played on some of HAGs greatest songs! LOL
