Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant

Posted by Mike K on May 16, 2002 at 08:20:19:
I'd bet most folks here have never heard of these guys. Speedy
played steel guitar, Jimmy played guitar; in the 50s they made about
70 sides for Capitol - in addition to playing on literally thousands
of country and pop sides as sessionmen (they were first call session
players at the time). If you want to hear some truly amazing and
joyous playing - jazzy, inventive, and at times mind bogglingly
fast - check out either of the two discs Razor and Tie has
issued, or the Bear Family box. Bryant was easily the technical
equal of Les Paul, Chet Atkins and all the other guitar slingers of
the day, and West was probably THE steel wizard of the time.
This is fun, joyous, music that will demand your full attention. And
dont miss Jimmy's playing on China Boy - you wont believe anyone
could play that fast.
