2024年10月17日 · The first John Hughey thing that hit me and made me want to play Steel was on Cal Smiths, Hello Mrs Johnson ... Same here!!! I was one of the hippies working at Bobby's Custom Campers in Manitou Springs, CO circa 1972/73, and the "cowboy" who wired 'em up (when he was sober enough to show up for work) always had KPIK (the local country station ...

2016年6月4日 · So, after Russ and I finished our set, I walked up to John, and he said, "You nailed it, man!" What a great friend, hero, and gentleman! I played at what was John's last show with the GaSGA in 2007, and didn't realize it would be …

2015年3月5日 · I have posted some John Hughey sounds before, but the one sound that keeps coming back to my mind is "Last Date". This song was released in about 1971 and suddenly Conway Twitty had another hit. John did this song justice after Floyd Cramer. If you were there at the time it came out, then you understand. This is one of my favorites!

2024年5月5日 · We did many shows with Conway and John back in the day. John and I were both playing through early FET 500s back then. In talking to him about Evans amps I seem to recall him telling me that he used a Hybrid 300 on many of …

2019年5月23日 · Other than an obscure late 1940s KFFA radio recording with Hughey and a 1956 tune with Gene Jones, the standard Conway discography doesn't name a steel player until 1965---Pete Drake and John Hughey. The Image Of Me is from October 1967. Working Girl is from April 1967. I've Just Destroyed The World is from December 1972.

2013年1月10日 · John Hughey would have played on just about all of Conway's 70s output, which was a heck of a lot. My favorite album is the I Can't Stop Loving You/Last Date LP from 1973 I believe. John plays some amazing stuff.

2024年11月20日 · The Professor features a tribute to the late great steel guitarist John Hughey. == == == Hughey was known for a distinctive playing style called "crying steel” which focused primarily on the higher range of the guitar. He played with a variety of notable musicians including Conway Twitty, Marty Stuart, Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson and Vince Gill.

2007年11月29日 · Brad, you forgot to mention the Zumsteel guitar, and the Hilton pedal. John first saw my pedal about 8 years ago in Tulsa. Shortly after that, I played a show with John in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. That is when John bought 2 of my pedals. A year or so later, he bought 2 more of my pedals. John had 4 of my pedals, and talked Hal Rugg into buying 2.

2002年9月28日 · I know I'll get it from all sides but,a lot of what John plays is simple,it's the way he plays it. Also his setup,(E9) is standard. I keep looking for him to just fall off the right hand end when he get's in the high regester.He is like the energizer bunny,he just keeps going,and going,and going.He also plays the Day setup and if you listen you ...
