I first heard Phil Baugh play "Country Guitar" 47 years ago when I first obtained the lp. I turn to my left, and I'm looking at it still on prominent display in my music room: LONGHORN Records (LONGHORN LP-WO2). What a kick that is! One of my all time guitar heroes. What a kick!
a country classic. a #15 country hit for him in 1965.i first heard this when i found the 45 to this in 1993.love it ever since.is this song(and it's follow up one man band) on cd? i like to find it if it is.thank you.and thank you for putting this rare filmclip up too.

I SHALL RETURN SOON AND WE WILL DO THIS AGAIN, LORD BLESS YA, PAPPY, BE GOOD!
I was at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport just a couple of years ago and was waiting in the car for somebody. I swore I saw a guy walking down the sidewalk wearing one of his Hot Licks Racing t-shirts. By the time I got over to where I saw him, he was gone. I have my dad's red racing jacket that has "Hot Licks Racing Team" on the back, his name on the front and "Blown Alcohol Jet" on the front as well.
I've watched this at least half a dozen times and every time I watch PB play, I just think to myself, "He's not HUMAN"! LOL Seriously, if I had 1/3 the talent he has in his little finger, I's be a happy guitar player. Absolutely AMAZING!
The Mosrite Phil is playing is a Joe Maphis model produced just prior to Semie's deal with the Ventures. Mr. Baugh's playing inspires me, at least, to delve deeper into this guitar style. The Chet Atkins part is particularly superb as is his own boogie woogie part at the end. I wish there were more videos like this from PB. Thank you. Cheers!
Thanks for the video, what a wonderful player - good to see him getting some long-overdue recognition. Sure wish there were more people around today who would play this way... Thumbs Carlisle did a tune similar to this, with equally amazing results, called "Springfield Guitar Social."
What a great song!! I heard this song today on (only half-jokingly, hopefully the internet/youtube police will allow this commercial plug!) WCJC in Van Buren, Indiana, while searching through the airwaves on a long drive far from home. A gentleman musician named George Riddle hosts an excellent Saturday morning program called "Classic Country Jamboree". I heard this for the first time, along with several other songs and ended up listening to the show the rest of the way.
Now that's what I call a Guitar Man. Every time I watch youtube I find another reason to smash my guitars. Seriously am running out of guitars to smash. People are just way too talented here.
It sure is nice to discover a truly phenomenal guitar player now and then! And a Mosrite doubleneck player that doesn't try to be a Joe Maphis clone. This man reminds me of my fave Danny Gatton. Phil flat gets it!
The album "Live Wire!" containing Country Guitar is back in print on CD on the Sundazed label-a must have for any fan of Phil Baugh/country-jazz guitar.
A bass player from the San Bernardino, Ca. area nicknamed "Whitey" took me in 1966, (I was 16), to see the great Phil Baugh and great he was. This clip reveals clean technique, finger rolls ala "Jeff's, (Beck), Boogie," arpeggios, tones and tensions, and good speed. I'll never forget him. I also met his son Phil Jr. A gentleman. He also posseses a box of reel to reels of his famous Dad. Where are you?
I know of two old country/rockabilly bands with the word "Doughboy" in 'em. One being "Fort Worth Doughboys" & the other is the "Light Crust Doughboys". This video sounds more along the lines of the Light Crust Doughboys, so maybe Phil Baugh was in one of these bands. I have also heard Flatt & Scruggs doing a tune called "Martha White Flour" and they mention how it was a sponsor of theirs in Nashville. Could be how the "Doughboy" bands got their names.
I thought that was Eddie Hill on the end at first but I'm not sure now. I think he said, "That Ole boy" and not "doughboy" but I could be wrong. Doughboy is not a bad word to be called however. It was used as a slang word for the Infantry during WWI. By the way, I'm no relation to Phil as far as I know, though we share the same last name.
I'm glad this video came back. I've heard the song before on an album & I don't know if the album is still in print. The 1st time I saw Phil in this video, his hairstyle reminds me alot of an uncle who I was very close to. My uncle was also a DJ for a brief time in the mid 1960s in Texas. Thank you again for bringing back Country Guitar & Phil Baugh.
Amazing, never heard of him. Unless I am missing a nickname he liked or something, I don't think it was very nice of the host to call him a "doughboy" at the end (!)
Naw, he said, 'DID GOOD! That.....ol' boy can really pick, cain't he?'
'Country Guitar' by Phil and Vern Stovall has been re-released on Sundazed Records as 'Live Wire', get it and get hip to Phil! My dad bought me the original release on Longhorn Records outa Dallas in '66. Few, if ANY, have ever played better guitar.
This is truly one of America's under-rated and was not recoginzed as he should have been. He has passed on...Rest in peace Phil Baugh.....Your music is still appreciated by alot of us.......
He also played the guitar solo (split with the steel solo) on Merle Haggard's first Capitol hit, "Swinging Doors" (1965). This tune was the CMA "Instrumental of the Year" in 1965.
No, He was playing a Mosrite and those were top of the line guitars. Back in 1964 the original Mosrite Ventures model cost $400 which is worth about $2000 today.
Who needs bands who only play chords when you have great players like Phil Baugh? Man, I'm finding out about all sorts of great players just through my search for "Mosrite" (The guitar he is playing is a Mosrite Joe Maphis model)
was that a zakk wylde repeating pulloff to an open string lick at the begining...amazing guitar player. hope he was a social fella, cause he must have been very infuential to every guitar player he's ever met...... not a wierdo like Yngwie Malmstein he he he ...burn!
Phil is a great player and certainly Danny listened to him. But Gatton was also listening to a lot of other players, James Burton, George Barnes, Charlie Christian, Les, Cliff Gallup, Charlie Byrd, Hank Garland and Jimmy Bryant. Then he morphed them all into his own style. Never really heard anyone do the things Gatton did on the guitar, but there sure are a lot of great players.
Thumbs Carlisle did "springfield guitar social" the original speed king guitar player that played each guitar style as his own. This gave Jim the idea of trying to top it. He did a kick ass job..but Les Paul, Grady Martin and Chet...bowed to thumbs!
The single you're talkin' about was "One Man Band". where Phil simulates all kinds of different instruments on his guitar. I got it for free brand new, plus the original "Country Guitar", ages ago as 'samples' directly from the record coy when I had a mail order set-up going! Vern Stovall handles the 'vocal' on both of 'em!
Thanks. There was another great artist of that time period (about 1949) who imitated country singer voices. His name was Dave Landers. I used to have two of his songs.."Before You Call" and "Draw up the Papers, Lawyer". Can you get them on the Utube?
Used to see Phil Baugh playing on NASHVILLE NOW...He played a Peavey guitar with PALM PEDALS...Played in a band down in Music Row called Phil Baugh and "THE HOT LICKS"...Was a great picker...
Ok, I just looked him up (on wikipedia), the way some people were talking, I thought he died in his twenties or something. It said he died when he was 53. Now 53 isn't really that old...but it's not like this guy died WAY early...
Some excellent work from Phil - showing the stylesof other great pickers. Shame Jerry Reed wasn't around at the time because I would have loved to see Phil do some Reedology! Good video.
It was my great pleasure to work with Phil on many occasions over the years, and I learned the vocal on this tune so we could show Phil off properly. However, he always seemed to be reluctant to play it.
What a picker! I stood next to him many times on the bandstand, and he always amazed me.
Yow...those country fellers can realy pick, outstanding...and, sense of humor please; the Thumbs tune is "Springfield Guitar Social," and it is a masterpiece...Stickman
My dad bought me that 'Country Guitar' album on Longhorn w/ Phil and vern Stovall back in '66 and told me "When you can play like THIS guy, you can be a GUITAR PICKER." Ain't there yet! THANKS for posting, just a priceless clip.

Phil is a great player and certainly Danny listened to him. But Gatton was also listening to a lot of other players, James Burton, George Barnes, Charlie Christian, Les, Cliff Gallup, Charlie Byrd, Hank Garland and Jimmy Bryant. Then he morphed them all into his own style. Never really heard anyone do the things Gatton did on the guitar, but there sure are a lot of great players.

Thumbs Carlisle did "springfield guitar social" the original speed king guitar player that played each guitar style as his own. This gave Jim the idea of trying to top it. He did a kick ass job..but Les Paul, Grady Martin and Chet...bowed to thumbs!

Years ago, Phil did a record where he made his guitar sound like other instruments. Do you have that one?

The single you're talkin' about was "One Man Band". where Phil simulates all kinds of different instruments on his guitar. I got it for free brand new, plus the original "Country Guitar", ages ago as 'samples' directly from the record coy when I had a mail order set-up going! Vern Stovall handles the 'vocal' on both of 'em!

Thanks. There was another great artist of that time period (about 1949) who imitated country singer voices. His name was Dave Landers. I used to have two of his songs.."Before You Call" and "Draw up the Papers, Lawyer". Can you get them on the Utube?

Ok, I just looked him up (on wikipedia), the way some people were talking, I thought he died in his twenties or something. It said he died when he was 53. Now 53 isn't really that old...but it's not like this guy died WAY early...
TheScreaminDemon 3 years ago
He sure could play that thing, I didn't know that he had died so young.

I never heard of him until today. He's a
hell of a picker. I've been livin' in a cave
for the past several years, so that's why I ain't hip to Phil Baugh. Well, better late than never, eh?

Some excellent work from Phil - showing the stylesof other great pickers. Shame Jerry Reed wasn't around at the time because I would have loved to see Phil do some Reedology! Good video.

He plays Tennesee style
[ using a flat pick for both flat and fingerstyle.]
No Joe Maphis impersonation ? Huh. Must have been done just before Merle's mantle was passed to Chet .

It was my great pleasure to work with Phil on many occasions over the years, and I learned the vocal on this tune so we could show Phil off properly. However, he always seemed to be reluctant to play it.
What a picker! I stood next to him many times on the bandstand, and he always amazed me.

My dad bought me that 'Country Guitar' album on Longhorn w/ Phil and vern Stovall back in '66 and told me "When you can play like THIS guy, you can be a GUITAR PICKER." Ain't there yet! THANKS for posting, just a priceless clip.
