A few years ago I came across Johnny Horton‘s song, honky-tonk hardwood floor and of course I had to learn Grady Martin’s break. Check it out if you haven’t already and play me your take on Gradys break on honky-tonk hardwood floor.
Actually, it was Dorsey Burnette who sang lead on that song. And some people are still of the impression that Pau Burlison was the picker on this. But Paul played lead on the first two singles and that was about it, He played some second background guitar on the Nashville tracks, but Grady was the lead guy. If you have any doubts go listen to "Tennessee Rock and Roll" by bobby Helms. That's Grady. Get Rough Neck blues by Grady Martin, it has a lot of his rockabilly session work.
+Thomas Östman - He was, but in when they recorded at Owen Bradley's Quonset Hut Bradley demanded to use the in house, "A-Team" of studio musicians for recording. Thank goodness they did. Grady Martin was probably more important to the Rockabilly resurgence of the 1980s and beyond than anyone else. Hardly anyone knows his name.
Love it👍
Thank you!! That filled the gaps I didn't know how to play
.
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

I read somewhere that Grady was playing a baritone guitar on this break. What do you think?
@@bgdenham I’ll have to give a good listen again. It may be on his bigsby guitar and he’s playing bass strings.
Thanks for writing
I love Grady Martin's stuff. I've learned a lot from your videos, and man you have some amazing gear.
