Redd Volkaert & Bill Kirchen - "truck drivin' man"

[ffairlane57]

Would have been nuts if Albert Lee or James Burton was up on that stage with them.

Some Arpeggios

[rockinredneck57]

Just realized I've been listening to Bill Kirchen since about 1973 when he was with Commander Cody. I have one of their early live CD's, great songs and great picking by Bill.

[rockinredneck57]

Everything is better when it's covered with Redd! I've seen faster and louder country pickers, but none have the fluidity and style and tone that Redd does.

[Sointula2]

Jeez, I wonder if Redd does anything else. He knows his way around that neck like no one I've ever seen before.

[jugmongers]

It's jaw droppin' time! Love that thar chicken pickin'!

[MrGuimbard]

keep on picking!!

[clobbohead]

Holy Moly, what a set! I'm not a big country music fan but this transends any genre. Great musicianship. I don't think it gets any better anywhere!

[trebleclefts]

God i'm just speachless.... what a set...please, please tour the UK.....

[weblogalias]

Jesus God--what the hell was that at 1:30?!? Amazing. Redd has some big damn ears to be able to pull THAT off.

[helpmechris]

one way to hear it is like C# diminished over the E7... creates a b5 sound among other cool things :-) neato

[CJC1964]

Love Redd! His tone is superb, his licks are top-notch. But Bill is my man! Great player and super nice guy.

[jippymartinez]

Redd's playing is kinda similar to Danny Gatton.

[ScottYancy]

his main guitar definitely doesn't have a B bender, although i'm sure he has a few teles w/ that feature

[machrochronic]

does anybodey know if redds using a b bender?

[Gomagomes]

looks like hes not using, probably he bends the neck

[pat976]

@machrochronic no, he most certainly is not using a b-bender... that's all in his sausage-shaped fingers... the man's a MONSTER !!!

[cpt337]

redd is so cool doing all those licks while playing and singing at the same time he is a great man i love watching him playing thanks redd

[dtongay]

I first heard this song on the legendary "Hot Licks, Cold Steel and Truckers Favorites" by Commander Cody.  Of course, Bill was the telemaster (if I dare say that over objections from Danny Gatton fans). Living in Austin has exposed me to Redd. What a joy! He absolutely kills when he plays the Saxon Pub. If you are here and you get the chance...do not miss him!

[bozodclown98]

Man Redd is a shredder on that tele, love that tone he has, and he plays so clearly, and effortlessly, the other guy is a little more strained sounding.

[Kitsenfinger]

That was FANTASTIC.......kudos to both pickers extraordinaire

[spikethepoet]

There's more math in either one of these solos than you'll find in most math rock, as well as more chords, counterpoint time changes, etc. Putting distortion on a guitar and calling that progressive is jive! The only difference between good music and bad music is good music tends to sound better...

You need to listen more...

[loungecruz]

2 great guit players!

[luggo]

Life jes' ain't fair sometimes.

[3shiftgtr]

A gatton lick at 1:28? Go Redd. Tele bashin' deeeluxe!

[ryanjurek]

I thought the same thing.

[fgrod]

Redd runs circles around Bill who's great too.

Wish Redd could try a little Dead music - those guys could tour again if they had him filling in for Jerry.

[TeleDan]

My oh my! No wonder both Bill and Redd are legends!

[PACARTNEY]

redd the best ever !!!!!!

[fenderprsfreak1]

fantastic thanks for posting redd sure is great.
