Lloyd Green & JayDee Maness "Hickory Wind"

[@HarborLockRoad]

I wonder today, how many that jeered the byrds/ gram Parsons at the opry realize what a pivotal moment in history it was to dare to venture into such unknown territory, and produce such a critically acclaimed classic album. Its too bad theres still many who dont get it.

[@jamesfaulkner-b7j]

You saw it here folks….two of the very best.

[@RonaldCid]

How could someone click on thumbs down? This is so pure...nothing pretentious...just plain good music. Thanks for posting RC

[@WildPhotoShooter]

Thumbs down = brain dead.

[@SuperOlds88]

No hats.

[@kleestard1013]

Don't understand what they're witnessing, or smoking crack.

[@dannyc1174]

I hear ya, man - WTF?

[@thisisbloody]

Wonderful to see Lloyd playing again.

[@factnotfictionpeople1313]

We've lost so many of the true greats over the years. I dread the passing of Mr. Green........

[@thedesertroseband]

he isn't dead sir...

[@packingten]

2mHe probably does as well...☺

[@TerryGordon-v9n]

They are masters of the pedal steel, so smooth

[@msoiseth3419]

They both played on the legendary album Sweetheart of the Rodeo. I believe it was Lloyd Green who played the unforgettable pedal steel on Hickory Wind. Very interesting to see both the guys that played steel guitar on one of the greatest country music albums of all time.

[@dannyc1174]

I hear ya, Friend - yes, they were both on "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" and both great steel men

[@paulsharp6559]

We love Lloyd Green. He’s the best.

[@dannyc1174]

He sure is!

[@stevew270]

Love the sound of the old Sho-Bud and Jaydee's all pull Emmons, you just can't beat the sound.

[@jackhanson8695]

JD's Emmons is a push-pull.

[@WildPhotoShooter]

The top two greatest pedal steels even made ShoBud and the Emmons.

[@davidkellymitchell4747]

They only sound great with a music maestro controlling it.

Just sitting here working with this video on loop... over and over and over and over and...

[@Gibson6by4]

Very, very nice, Gentlemen! Thank you so much.

[@dannyc1174]

I totally agree

[@BlindTom61]

Big thanks from the rapidly dying off steel guitar community...

[@vmaxtur]

Thank you so much for posting!

[@SuperOlds88]

Plus the great Al Perkins on rhythm guitar.

[@dannyc1174]

Right

[@jerryderr8043]

I've always loved the sound of a pedal steel but only recently started paying attention to who's playing and players names. I never knew that Lloyd Green played the pedal on the Byrds/Gram Parsons version of this song. Great to go back and listen knowing he's playing.

[@MichaelHattem]

Lloyd's playing was just beautiful.

[@aallen681]

Smooth as silk.....two excellent players!

[@mattdixon333]

nice of Paul Franklin to sit in on drums for this one.

[@philcopp6414]

What else can you say...Great Stuff!

[@Redhoss22]

JayDee is still awesome

[@fredskolnick1183]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@murraythet]

Amazing steel duet! 7,380 views & ONE guy gives it a "Thumbs DOWN." WTF?!?

[@jamiebell2164]

Somebody has to be a "rebel"...

[@superorangeish]

To each his own..but the thumbs down person may have no clue how difficult is to get to this level as a steel player and should at least appreciate that.

[@sandburgmartin7947]

Tops ANYTHING on "New Country radio. That new Nashville pop cannot decide whether it is pop, rap, fusion, or college boy faux country.

[@TerryGordon-v9n]

Your write this is the real deal

This is amazing

Beautiful

[@WeezWorld730]

wow thats great

[@7550375503]

The Tune of ' Satisfied Mind '

[@dannyc1174]

A lot of similarities.

[@brendanmitchell2508]

Is tha Paul Franklin on drums ?

[@Bluelew777]

yep

[@rogerdillingham4476]

I think someone has confused the sound of a push-pull Emmons with an "all pull". I don't remember J.D. ever playing an "all pull" although he possibly has. The Emmons on this is definitely "push-pull".

[@emiliovaqueromartin1656]

For me The best all time mister PETE DRAKE with producter Billy Sherrill.

[@emiliovaqueromartin1656]

@@henkhopman3486 lloyd green number two.

[@jjswan3795]

My goodness this sounds a heck of a lot like “Satisfied Mind”

[@dannyc1174]

Yes, My Friend, it does...definitely some similar melodic lines.

[@johncraig3756]

catch he's licks on Austin city limits show, wow!

[@jibba411]

That sure likes like Paul Franklin on drums. That brings the total up to 4 steel players on this tune.

[@jaynewman4144]

Doesn't even sound like Hickory Wind. That song belongs to Gram Parsons & that's it.
