Ring of Fire
Ring Of Fire is a CD of dobro and slide guitar instrumentals. I wrote all the songs, except Johnny Cash’s Ring Of Fire and Bill Monroe’s song, Gold Rush. The styles vary from bluegrass to rock. Musicians who helped me on this record include:
- Drummers: Pasi Leppikangas (John Cowan & Michelle Wright), Brian Barnett (Don Williams), Bob Warren (The Lynns) and Pat McInerny (Nanci Griffith).
- Upright Bass: David Spicher (Jerry Douglas Band & Pam Tillis).
- Electric Bass: Ron DeLa Vega (Nanci Griffith), Dow Tomlin (Jessica Andrews Band) and Dave Francis (Pam Tillis & Maura O’Connell).
- B3 Organ:Reese Wynans (Stevie Ray Vaughn)
- Keyboards: Jon Glazer (Wynonna and The Judds).
- Fiddle and Mandolin: Jason Roller (Joe Diffie, John Berry and Tracy Lawrence).
I played all acoustic and electric guitars, dobro and slide guitars.
I have written number charts for all the songs on the record. As you will hear, there are very simple songs as well as complex arrangements to follow. I hope you like the music, but It’s also fun and challenging to follow along on the charts.
