| | | | hmmm....I'd give the edge to Michael Rhodes. However, I've met Mike Brignardello and had him play a session that I was producing and he is an outstanding bass player. He's one of the top Session A bass players in Nashville and is always ranked very highly by Music Row magazine. There's also Glen Worf, Larry Paxton and Jimmie Lee Sloas (who is showing up on a lot of albums lately). Those are the top session bass players.
Most of the "road" bass players don't get too much attention (unfortunately).

I know its not country , perse, but man, have to add that I hope we all get a Wooten/Monroe jam up in the heavens someday!
It would be quite heavenly!

Kevin Grantt whome I became aware of when his stolen bass was returned to him by a talk basser also has done some VERY cool work for Craig Morgan and Brad Paisley.
Some of the fills in redneck yacht club are must steal riffs |

| | | | Yeah, Joey is really good. I actually met him a couple months ago in Nashville when he was doing a session for the Artist that I play with. Really nice guy.

Don't Believe check out the Live CD and his DVD.

| | | | Yeah, Keith Horne is frickin great!! He used to play with Trisha Yearwood a while back, now he's with Hot Apple Pie. He's one of those left handed and upside down bass players ...
Also, I've seen him playing steel guitar in local Nashville clubs and he was really good ...go figure..

On a vacation in Nashville last summer, I got to see Michael Rhodes and Eddie Bayers back up Brent Mason in a blues/rock/country/RnB/fusion group. He don't mess around.
