Deke Dickerson, Chris Scruggs & Freebo | "Smoke That Cigarette"

[@matthewwillis4892]

Chris Scruggs is a humble monster of a musician, watch out!

[@artheriford]

Have you seen him singing "Blue Moon of Kentucky" with Marty Stuart? Not only a great musician, but he has a major set of pipes.

[@matthewwillis4892]

Oh yea. Major set of pipes.@@artheriford

[@KeefsCattys]

He's just a total legend .

[@rockhead69]

This Chris Scruggs fella is a fantastic player... nicely done, guys !

[@toddflowers8052]

He's also a walking Encyclopedia of Country and Bluegrass facts/history 👌

[@TheBelmontBluesMan]

Earl's grandson.

[@BeeDubDakota]

on virtually every instrument.

[@stevemurray2737]

Great Combo. Kenny Vaughan says that Chris is the best Guitar Player in the Fabulous Superlatives. High Praise!

[@artheriford]

Right? Kenny would know.

[@als1023]

Kenny talking about the bass player in the band he plays guitar in ,, says it all ,,

[@CNFir-fs6zs]

Norm's medium rare guitars. Cookin', smokin'

[@jerryvahnknight218]

Deke is so underrated!

[@danapplebee4408]

Norm is right. Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives are the best live act I’ve ever seen. By a mile.

[@__bam]

They are damn good. Just saw them for the first time this past weekend. Wow!

[@RJRonquillo]

2 of my favorite guitarists! And Freebo holding it down!

[@JamesLyons-i1i]

Medium rare !!! Great line and wonderful playing..

[@jasonpitts8395]

Chris Scruggs is a beast! Best player in any room that also plays bass, drums, and steel.

[@pierheadjump]

⚓️ Thanks Jen 🎶 Deke 😎 Chris 🌈 Freebo ♦️ NORM!!! 🎸

[@beta14ok]

Love this tune! Havn't heard it in a long time,.....so good!

[@billmiller2051]

Scruggs is just terrific ! Nice Converse All Stars too!!!

[@geraldponce8336]

Lot of talent in the room. That was awesome.

[@harvey1954]

I first saw Freebo with a very young Bonnie Raitt at the 1970 Philly Folk Fest. Saw Deke at the Rockbilly Rumble in Wilmington, DE. Never saw Chris live, but I did see one of his brothers at the Main Point.

[@kylemoran4343]

Huge fan of all three of these GREAT musicians ! Thnx Norm

[@MulaMusic67]

Awesome! 😎

[@toddflowers8052]

That was fantastic !!! Thanks everyone !!!

[@gregn16]

Absolutely ! What a classic, and beautifully done !!! 😃

[@scottbelongie9051]

That’s one of my favorite performances

[@barackmycat9448]

Very slick guys! 10 thumbs up.

[@slimlinebond]

It's early Sunday morning here in Oz and what a great way to start the day . Great delivery of a great song ! Thanks once again for making this possible Norm !

[@harrycoddington4739]

Wow!! Just amazing stuff!!

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

GOOD STUFF HERE GUYS HAVEN’T SEEN DEKE IN 30 YEARS

[@stuartglover1221]

Omg!! This is absolute 🔥 x wow absolutely amazing x thank you thank you thank you xx 🎸🎸🇬🇧🇬🇧🔥🔥🔥

[@PGU13BHEI]

That was really nice. I just saw Deke’s post on a cache of Mosrite history he has retrieved from TX yesterday. Some wonderful info in there. Guitars on loan to Jimmy Bryant, James Burton, and Clarence White, among other notables. A contract for someone named Glen Campbell.. He and Chris are super knowledgeable and talented musicians, and they are keeping our country rock-a-billy and Western swing roots alive.

[@davemeshamsr6000]

So much fun u guys thnx

[@robnamowicz8073]

"I'm just used,," "Can I get one that's just medium rare?" Stop it, stop it, you're killing me! Great stuff thanks fellas!

[@ericbgordon1575]

An old-timey slice of where I was in July 1995, working to purchase my own first electric guitar and taking a puff on a co-worker's cigarette. There and then, I decided that smoking, drinking and all other drugs were off the table for me.

[@rockyjohnstone]

Best 5 minutes I've spent on the internet in awhile. Great job all around.

[@05645ci]

Whooeee! Great song, and masterful playing; best stuff comes from Normans!

[@stevewild6478]

Brilliant.,

[@snapfinger1]

Texas Swing. My daddy said “ Son you’ll drive me to drinking if you don’t …. Hot Smoke & Sassafras.

[@chaskan100]

Unbelievably awesome

[@samadams1076]

#nrgfreebook, a swinging good time! Thanks NRG.

[@jonnybeck6723]

Brilliant!!! (and then some)

[@deblane401]

Norm thanks for all your videos. I will turn 73 years young on Monday, so I am slowly catching up to you. George in Montana

[@bobomud]

Nice to see Deke here. Great guy!

[@vf7vico]

great stuff. Chris Scruggs kills.

[@vincentcaruso]

Love this swinging sizzler! 🎉

[@rockers2rockers616]

Fantastic music

[@jawbone60]

Brilliant!!!

[@oddjobtriumph1635]

absolutely brilliant

[@rylieriley]

That Chris Scruggs guy is a damn fine guitar player. 🤩 I figure everyone knows Deke by now, he's great. Add Freebo into the mix and you've got a killer trio. I only wish I could have been in the room when these guys were playing. It must have been amazing.

[@Jamzocd]

They remind me of “Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen” back in the early 70s SF Bay Area.

[@tjinnertube]

Hot.Rod.Lincoln.

[@Jamzocd]

@@tjinnertube Bill Kirchen!

[@18Bobjohn]

These are 3 talent musicians!!!!

[@wildebassman]

Great! I always liked the Commander Cody rendition.

[@JDShellnut39]

That was GREAT!!!

[@Dons166]

Great job on a classic song. Now I want to go listen to some Commander Cody

[@danadavis9121]

Wow, Commander Cody! Takes me back to "those" days.

[@h3tv]

#NRGFREEBOOK . Chris is always a musical. delight and Deke has put a musical smilei in my ears for decades. Norm I enjoy seeing and hearing great vintage guitars, I really like Michael's playing. Please keep them coming. Thanks!

[@beta14ok]

This trio cooks!

[@1rwjwith]

So cool!

[@MarkColeman-s1v]

Very good !!!

[@stepitupandgo67]

Lovely

[@bzerob7362]

Tex Williams & Merle Travis. I love Doc Watson's version of this tune.. You guys did it justice nice work!

[@acousticarchivefortwayne930]

Whew! Great pickin' guys!

[@hoganshideout]

Awesome guys!

[@flyemhard]

that was great!

[@saywhat7646]

that was awesome.

[@jdfolbre]

This kills!

[@Mark_J_on_guitar]

Great performance. Nice to see Norm is looking trim and healthy.

[@paulofreire7520]

Great groove, boys! 👍🏻

[@keithpennington8259]

Good to see Chris play lead. In a way, he is held back by playing bass with Marty. Love his steel guitar playing.

[@sassycat]

Fabulous stuff, gents. 😺👍

[@TitanicConcerts]

When music was music. You guys speak my language.

[@charlesjefferis8812]

Chris Scruggs ❤

[@VonBluesman]

Haven’t heard that song in ages. I think the Scruggs family are the first original musicians of America, even their critters play music, their Holstein invented the Cowbell 😂

[@rodneyharouff5739]

cool!

[@GuyLeeguitar]

Excellent

[@JDShellnut39]

Medium Rare!!! Sounds like my budget!

[@hankpoulsen]

Damn that Gibson sound good🤠🔥

[@maxbialystock254]

Commander Cody LIVES!!! Somebody send this to Bill Kirchen Chris Scruggs and Bill K on the same stage would be epic

[@Jax71]

Oh heck yeah, that was great. Norm you need to have more jams like this on a weekly basis man. We’d definitely tune in for these. Just throw some killer musicians in the living room and just jam for a few songs. We love it. You know everyone in the business, I mean they all show up to get medium rare guitars lol. Cool video.

[@terryendsley6079]

tex Williams is smiling down from heaven .probably smoking a cigarette. lol ! 😂

[@mikelord9860]

Rare, medium rare, don't matter, Chris...cuz regardless, your playing will be WELL DONE!

[@christoguichard4311]

Django lives! 😊

[@artheriford]

Merle Travis and Tex Williams live on! These dudes are the real deal

[@JessePaiz-ys7kr]

Does anyone know what genre of music this falls into? Im not a big music guy, but this really caught my attention! Thank you!

[@robertwilliamson5309]

texas swing

[@zakloggia]

Could someone tell me the exact model of the Gibson on the left? 🤟🏼

[@jfinester]

Merle Travis would be proud!

[@lynnpeterthorson5277]

Chris master musician stand up bass, electric bass, guitar, steel guitar etc..

[@tjinnertube]

etc to include spectacular vocal prowess as well as historian.

[@lynnpeterthorson5277]

With Marty & FS the public is only seeing a very small portion of Chris's talent.@@tjinnertube

[@TimCollard-c3q]

I always thought Ray Benson and asleep at the wheel wrote that song...... still it's Texas swing!!!!!!!

[@tjinnertube]

Marty and crew, closest ensemble to the Byrds today, ‘specially when Jim sits in.

[@telejazz5160]

#NRG Freebook that's what I'm talking about, hotter than southern fried chicken!!

[@royswan]

Scruggs makes that 400 just sing!

[@richardschley4110]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌❤😎

[@bltjonesthejonestones3697]

Wow!! Now, I'll never do that song again.

[@leftwrite]

Chris Scruggs is a bad man.

[@MrBigOhio]

Can't help but seeing a stovetop hat on the middle dude in the beginning

[@johnnyx9892]

I saw the same thing

[@hadrian3487]

Tobacco companies should take up this song, however they are not allowed to advertise.

[@shazam6274]

This song is sarcasm, not encouragement.

[@Stratsafact]

Fabulous Superlative what else is there to say?

[@MrChadperkins]

Chris was genetically engineered to do this.

[@perrysantoro5901]

Didn’t recognize Freebo without that head of hair

[@benjamingilmore825]

Sounds like boy named sue

[@samhill3496]

walk a mile for a Camel great picking really.

[@shippo36able]

Deke!!! I'm smoking that cig but it ain't tobacco son. Hahaha hahaha. Keep on pickin' and grinnin'.
