I knew nothing of Red Volaert until almost exactly one year ago. I was a passenger in a car crossing the country and had a stop in Athens, TX at a fiddle contest where Red played a duo set and also along with the Western Flyers. He was a jaw dropping guitar player, had a stage rap that was hilarious, and he completely invited you into his little musical journeys like you were an old and trusted friend. I was a fast fan of his artistry. Today I learned that he is only 10 years older than me and I was totally shocked. I can't say that I've met that many old souls but he is truly an old soul if I've ever met one.
Redd is great... a man after my own heart... since I'm 72..."anything new and I switch channels" , I've been that way for over 20 years and have no regrets about it.😎🎸
Redd your enthusiasm is breath of fresh air.you keep the true sound of a telecaster alive I wish the youths of today would take a leaf out of your book I get hairs on the back of my neck stand up when I listen to you play I love these interviews the true gent stand out of you don’t ever change your a inspiration
One of the best nights of music I ever saw was Redd and Cindy Cashdollar at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad, CA about 8-9 (?) years ago. I was blown away by how unassuming he was and he absolutely can play his ass off! I always hoped they would return, but it was not to be. So, I’m moving close to Austin, TX in another week and I still won’t be able to see him play again! Really bad luck for me! Thanks God for RUclips! Great interview!
Great and talented guy. Gotta love real and genuine people. Had the good fortune of catching him live in New Orleans with Bill Kirchen a few years ago.
Red is one of my all time favorites cause he's so down to earth. Never realized he had moved to VA so He's a lot closer to me here in WV. Maybe I could go jam with him. Thanks for having him on.
Saw Redd lots in the late `70`s in Calgary when he was working the Alberta bar circuit. When Redd & his mentor Big George Moody were together on stage, they just tore it up!
What a wonderful interview. Red is just so great and down to earth. Would love to see you hit up Johnny Hiland next. I can’t get enough of him and Kimmie
Thanks for this, Zac. It was fun to catch up on things since your last interview together. Some of the quotes you two tossed out are as classic as those 50’s beauties Redd has in his rotation. REDD. “Osmosis kicks in“ ZAC. “Will work for you if anyone” REDD. “White Horse Bar at midnight. $40!” REDD. “Doesn’t matter. If it falls down it falls down. We just keep playing.” REDD “First caveman with a Telecaster” REDD. “That stuff doesn’t matter. It is what it is, ya know...” REDD. “Got a couple other little goodies.” REDD. “I’ll do it if Roadhog signs my strap!” ZAC. “He went, Whole Hog” REDD. "Red Go-cart, you is reeeal good” (Harold Reid aka “Lester Roadhog Moran") REDD. “Don’t lose any hope. It’s gotta come back somehow. If there is a will there is a way. May start a duo, and build up from there again. Still music. It’s all good.” 🙏🎸🎶
“I only listen to old dead guys “ LOL. I like that. Thank God we still have the the old stuff to listen too. Redd got my vote on that.

My Dad is a big Haggard fan. He turned me onto Red awhile back. I could listen to him play all day.
