| | | | I posted about the cat from Rascal Flatts a few weeks ago here. That dude can totally smoke live. When he's not doing something fancy he's always tasty. (plus he gets a great tone with those Stingrays) I'm not big on the newer Country that's out but I dug the show I caught them on.
Keith Christopher did a total kick ass job on Shaver's "Live at Smith's Olde Bar". God that band had great dynamics. It's sad that Eddy Shaver died.
Tracy L. Dalton had a totally killer bass player. (Don't know who he was)
Let's also not forget Keith Horne.

He's actually a very accomplished player. In the concert, there was a break down where he soloed, grooved, and even slapped.

Seriously, he is a really good player. He played on Garth Brooks' albums, as well as being one of the first call bassists in Nashville.

Alright, being a Country Player myself there are some guys that must be on this list.
#1-Bob Moore (Elvis, Patsy Cline, too many others to list)
Dave Pomeroy- Don Williams, Keith Whitley,Session Ace
Glen Worf- Another First Call Session Cat
Leland Sklar- The man himself
Roy Huskey Jr.- #1 Upright Man
Andy Williams- Buck Owens original bassist
Don't forget Leon (Skynard)- Not exactly country but had a huge impact on most modern country bass players.
I am currently really digging Pat Green's bass player. Not sure of the name but he is a NTU Jazz cat, and a powerful/melodic player that always seems to have the perfect part for the song.
I could go on and on... |

| | | | Call me crazy-
It appears most of those mentioned are from a non-Country background...
The New Country bands we typically open for are full of guys with backgrounds in Rock, R&B, Funk, etc.
(& we're no different!).
So-
I wonder if the guys who exclusively play "Country" bass get pissed 'cause they don't seem to be getting the gigs...either in the studio or in the road bands.
Like I said, call me "Crazy"...
