Chances are, Wesley Webb "Speedy" West was the steel guitar heard most often during the first half of the 1950's. Between 1949-1955, Speedy played on over 6,000 recordings with a total of 177 different artists. Some of those artists include Tennessee Ernie Ford, Kay Starr, Frankie Laine, Jo Stafford, and Paul Weston's Orchestra, Billy May's Orchestra, Betty Hutton, Helen O'Connell, Doris Day, Johnnie Ray, Ella Mae Morse, Spike Jones, Jean Shepard, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and many others. Travis and Stone work out some swinging words here to McAuliffe's classic tune. If anyone can tell me the group of excellent singers heard on this one, I would appreciate it. They sound awesome.
