PHIL LEADBETTER'S "SLIDE EFFECTS" / PINECASTLE RECORDS
put to notes. Sometimes in blossoming clusters that hail
down on you like gunfire, sometimes in one searing cry from
a holler so dark the sun never shines. The one thing you
can expect from his dobro is the unexpected. He’ll come in
on a fill almost late creating a slingshot effect that
catapults you into the next phrase. His multi-layered solos
are so baffling, you’re positive he’s dubbed over them four
or five times. But, knowing Phil as I do, he would feel that
would be cheating the listener. And, if there is anything
better than Phil Leadbetter’s dobro, it’s his character as a
human being. I can say this because he’s my friend.”
Great songs, Awesome pickin’ and very tasty production.
I’m honored he did Tattoos Of Life (which I co-wrote with
the late Max D. Barnes) Superb!
