I was the main soundman at The Southgate House in Newport Kentucky and I was blessed to have worked with Clarence over twenty years ago. Crazy thing is he had huge hands with fingers like sausages yet his speed and dexterity was phenomenal. A serious badass player, Roy Clark was no slouch either. RIP to both.
👍👍♥️ I used to be friends and played in a band with Cal, the pedal steel player. He was an excellent musician. producer and songwriter. Had 100's of songs he'd written that he never really tried to get published, that should have been. We'd go around and try them out on folks at open mikes and such, and people would be singing along with us before the songs were over with. That's how catchy they were. I've never seen anything like it. Thanks for mentioning his name in the credits.
Gatemouth showed the Nashville cats how it’s s’posed to be done! If you ever saw him live you’d know he could kill it on the Viola too. He was a legend for good reason!
When i saw Roy it was later in his life, he mostly sat on his stool, but he still cooked with fire. Amazing talent. Guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin & i may be forgetting a couple of instruments.... He said at the end of his concert- "I may be old but i can still haul the mail." Then broke out on "Orange Blossom Special". Spectacular.
Clarence’s Technique was so unconventional. He could approach the Fretboard like a Sax player unloading with all his fingers in bursts of speed-yet throw in stops in between. You could tell Roy no doubt knew who held the mantle on this Gatemouth’ composition. Gatemouth and Roy made a LP together! A original copy is in my library. RIP Boys❤️🇺🇸
From what I understand, quite a few Nashville A-List players play jazz for fun. They're world-class musicians, the C&W they play for a living isn't too challenging, and they like doing something that pushes their abilities.
That’s definitely going into my list of favorite live performances ever captured on video. And thanks for listing the names of the other soloists. They were all stellar.
@@epicmeade Here’s a great clip of Leon Rhodes (along with Buddy Charleton on pedal steel guitar) from their time in Ernest Tubb’s band back in the 1960’s. The song is Rhodes Bud Boogie, and was written by the duo. th-cam.com/video/pP9mDEri85o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eh3aI3IzkijWrUGu
Play it Gate! It's really unfair for anybody to sit next to Gate and try and keep up. He has such unique style and timing. Clark is a great player but nothing they play at the Opry is going to prepare you to go one on one with CGB.
Gate's one of the all time great Texas blues and swing guitar players. Unique style. That's the problem with today. Bunch of cookie cutter playing. No style.
I played bass for various Chicago blues artists for 22 years and I can tell you that none of them have 10% of Gatemouth’s musical imagination or uniqueness of style.
@@Motomaniac99 I know I can play without a capo.... & if you listen (and know what a scale is ) he never leaves that same scale during the whole song.... & I know I could play SOMETHING different in that key.

I feel better now listening to this first thing in the morning . Love these guys, and yes I'm blessed living in their generation.

CGB was a master of the fiddle, drums, piano and guitar.

what's next level is the articulation at speed Clarence is getting without a pick. crazy
Yes but the truth is he only played in the E position so it's mostly open strings blazing fast
Video keeps moving away from his right hand! I wanna watch that
Oh man! I don't believe I've ever seen Roy put to the test quite like that.
Joe Maphis had him struggling to keep up too.

Actually, it was a Billy Strayhorn composition. But, yes, Gatemouth was awesome on this number.
@ Thanks for sharing that👍
I was taught"always try and make the other guy sound better." How?
Very lucky I got to see Gatemouth jam w members of the Guess Who and other luminaries in a club in the French Quarter NOLA back in ‘92- he tore it up

What an adorable performance with these 2 and the other guys playing! Great upload, thanks. ❤️🔥
They are having fun ,lots of fun 😂

Top level!
Beautiful

Clarence just every string player on the stage!!!!😮😮

Absolutely marvelous music. I may still have the LP that they recorded together.
DANG!!!
Damn good!

A jem for sure

That's what I call some real chickin pickin !
Awesome 🎉❤
yep😆
Great stuff! Thanks.
You Welcome.😁

So Good!!🤩🤩🤩
Incredible performance. And yes, the best session musicians no matter what genre they come from, play Jazz.
Sweet 😍
Gatemouth!
Love Gate!! Have an lp of his. Lethal studio cats, too. 😳
The other CCR !!!
Yep.
Something I didn't even have to pray for. Ah, shit, I'm not religious anyway. All Star Band!

02:10 Roy Clark's brother??
@matrox
But a nice shirt anyway 😊

I swear he's sweep picking with his fingers!
Knowledge only goes so far; Imagination has no limits.

Chris Stapleton on pedal steel, y'all!!!
His hand is so damn big that he can just anchor his thumb on the other side of the capo.
Roy took a bit to get up to speed. Mr. Clarence Brown was cuttin’ heads.
Roy’s great but he’s gettin’ schooled by Mr. Brown. One’s tryin’ the other’s flyin’
No need for a Capo when you can play properly.
A cheater is gonna cheat
Yeah you’re probably a much better guitarist than CG Brown.
@@Motomaniac99 I am not a better guitar player than Mr. Brown.
@@Motomaniac99 I know I can play without a capo.... & if you listen (and know what a scale is ) he never leaves that same scale during the whole song.... & I know I could play SOMETHING different in that key.
but can you swing that "same scale" like that? how can you not just enjoy this awesome jam ??
Country Licks and Jazzchords don't mix,,,
Damn. If this ain't tasty nothin is❤❤
