I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again. Joe Chambers is doing the lord’s work with the Musician’s Hall of Fame, and by preserving history with the hall and these videos. For a music fanatic like myself that can never have enough details or stories of those very special times, it’s a goldmine. Lastly Joe, if you all start a Patreon I know lots of us would gladly give you $5-$10 a month to do what you do. Either way, thank you Joe and the rest of the people at the hall. I’m looking forward to the trip that brings me back the area so we can tour it. Take care

Well jeez! You learn something new everyday. I definitely had no idea that it was anyone other than Charlie Rich playing the intro to Behind Closed Doors. The second Mr Robbins finished, I launched into "My baby makes me proud..." I'm sure I saw a dozen or so TV shows with Charlie performing the song as well. That was back when AM radio played everything, Top 40 had country, pop, standards, novelty tunes, rock, it was more of a wide open format, it wasn't so "niche" in the early 70's. Those unheralded session guys have really been getting their due lately with The Wrecking Crew documentary on Netflix,definitely this channel, and it really helps to tell the whole story of how popular music is made. I like how these songs and sounds we hold near and dear are things that some of these guys think of "Oh yeah, that was a good session....". :)
@jonesvox13 жыл бұрын
Interesting point is that producer Billy Sherrill didn’t want Charlie to play on his own records because he told Charlie he was “too busy” on the piano and had Charlie stand over Pig’s shoulder during tracking so he could watch his phrasing while he sang. Charlie really loved jazz and his playing in later years (Pictures and Paintings) display that. I’m a mega Charlie Rich fan. Sam Phillips said he was the most talented artist he ever worked with.

I believe they called them custom sessions. Charlie McCoy was the band leader and he had Sonny Garrish on steel!!! He used a ray -gun type hairdryer to warm up his pedal steel. We cut at Wayne Moss's studio and I remember a gold record for "Greatest Hits of the Steve Miller Band" on the wall. As to your question it was a song writer whose was friends with Terry Dearmoor, the writers name I do not remember,but we did a whole album. It was great getting some master scale checks !!!! Pigs playing was really Outstanding for his Style. I played for Charlie Rich Live for several shows. My first Nashville session was when I was 16 at Shelby Singleton Studio, for a Arkansas songwriter named Billy Cole. I remember the parking lot had signs that read "Studio Musicians Only" I also remember wanting to change a mistake I made and the producer refused saying " The Farmers wont know and the Teenagers wont care"

Larry ran over the music with the players while Kenny looked over the lyrics.. They played it once.Kenny sang it while they recorded it and no overdubs. That was the record... if it had not been a hit Kenny was going to be dropped from the label.. best... Joe

Wonderful interview. I wasn't familiar with Pig's work. Is he still doing session work? Thank you again for these great interviews.

Since the 70's, every country music album/cd I pick up, I automatically tell myself "Pig" is gonna be credited for keys/piano.
