Doug, Well, I had to go check out my Vinyl collection and the name of that album is Chet, Floyd and Danny. [Davis]. Chet also does When You Wish Upon a Star.

Anyway, best version of Kentucky I've ever heard. Trancelike.

@Wile37Coyote Ahhhhh! yes! I also have that on Vinyl. It's probably in my basement. Or was it Chet, Floyd and Boots?

[daffydoug]

@daffydoug OK. There may be more than one album, then. Because I thought I remembered also a Chet Floyd and Boots album, but my old memory may be wrong on that.

[Wile37Coyote]

No, I pulled my album out. It's titled Chet Floyd and Danny.

[Wile37Coyote]

What a great tune. I also like the version he did on an album with himself, Floyd Cramer and a Trumpet player laying down their best tunes. I remember Chet doing this on and Black Mountain Rag.
