Really enjoy these informal conversations. The A team, and members of it, play on some of my favourite records. Charlie McCoy accompanies Dylan on the magnificent 'Desolation Row' – he 'just happened to be in New York'. Grady Martin plays some beautiful gut string guitar on Marty Robbins, 'Gunfighter Ballads.' Grady's work on Johnny Horton's early 78's is distorted and meaner than a junkyard dog; also lead breaks that were thought to be Paul Burlison…it was Grady.
This man has more country music history information in him than the world has ears to hear. Fantastic! I wish I could roll down the highway with him and the rest of the Superlatives for a weekend! 😊
I just started watching and this is fantastic! It dawned on me (about this country of ours) that if people would lay their guns down and pick up instruments: what a different world we would live in! I'm not a 'believer' (my degree is in Anthropology) but I am well acquainted with verses from the bible: one day they will turn their swords into pruning hooks and make war no more. Maybe, people should just turn their guns in and buy instruments.
What a great interview. Very interesting. One of the best I have seen you do as Chris is on the whole interview. Well done.
This guy knows his shit.
I could listen to Chris for hours, has lived it his whole life. Another great interview Otis, thank you
I love this stuff. Thanks so much.
Is songwriter Tony Martin, Grady's son? Chris would know
The Funk Brothers of the Motown era had a quota of two and sometimes 3 hits per day! That is Composing and recording 2-3 hits a day!
Waylon really did change country music in so many ways he doesn't get credit for
This was great, thanks for what you do.
Thank you Otis for this compilation ☮
I LOVE YOU CHRIS SCRGGS!
I love listening to Chris Scruggs! What a wealth of music history!
superb Otis and Chris. Thanks 🔥
Chris Scruggs is a true music scholar
Chris Scruggs is captivating… What a knowledgeable story teller… love him as a musician as well…
What a gentleman, worthy of the mantle of this music.

Cool interview Otis, thanks!
Said Hey to Chris on Sunday at Liberty Hall. We were both going to see the great Mavis Staples.
What a great interview Otis. Chris is a living encyclopedia of music. And he talks so well.
Grady Martin? Not sure I'd say he rated over Hank Garland.
These sessions are like going to university. Thank you.
A brilliant instrumentalist in his own right.
Best ever Otis.
What Grady Martin did on El Paso is simply amazing….
And that's class for today courtesy of Professor Scruggs and Mr. Gibbs. Sure hope there's not a quiz. My mind is reeling.
Thank you so much guys.
I think paycheck is easily one of the best song writers or story tellers in the outlaw movement and was one of the last true outlaw
Wonderful interview’s with Chris
Hi Otis, your stuff is so good that I watched it twice. Thanks you and greetings from Germany

What a sharp dude, pleasure to listen, thank you
Is Chris related to Earl, the banjo player?
Somebody give Chris his own Nashville talk show.
Love these recollections by Scruggs, Vaughan and etc. I ‘d love to hear something about the “Renegade Picker “ Steve Young.
