Thank you Joe for the interview. He`s my brother and of course I`m very proud of him. He has been blessed for sure to be so talented and down to earth. I used to come over to Nashville when I would get out for school break and got to meet a lot of different artist of that time. To me, it was a privilege to meet so many artist but also to me, the musicians were the real stars in the recording business. They were the ones who made the artist shine. Thanks again Joe.

Starting back in 1979, when I got a new record, I would look at the list of studio players. That told me what kind of music I would be hearing. Hargus is one of the best. Love his piano on TTH's Little Brown Suitcase, really set the mood for that song.

Joe, a little extra volume would help on this during your intro. The interview is almost right but should be a bit louder to comfortably hear the parts where he lowers his voice. Hell, I might be going deaf! LOL! Thanks for sharing these videos with us.

Pig also played on the great country LP by the late Leon Russell called 'Hank Wilson's Back Volume 1" Not a bad track on this LP they are all Top Shelf!!!

At 15:27 It Sounds Billy knew the structure he wanted but he didn't know what chords to place in that structure and Mr. Robbins picked the best chords possible to place in that structure ( It could have been done so many different ways it's unreal, but none would have been as good as the way Pig Robbins did it ) BTW I was in Spring City TN back in August to see family & i didn't see any acknowledgment plaques to Mr. Robbins ( i asked around and mostly got puzzled looks with I'm not sure as the answer unless i asked everybody that didn't know that there is one and i didn't see it ) I believe he's earned one, don't you Spring City?

Mr. Robbins is hilarious! He is an incisive commentator as well. Not fancy but like his playing, what he says fits perfectly!

I haven't made it all of the way through the interview, yet, but wondered how Pig might have felt if some producer asked him to play some "Floyd Cramer style" licks?!!

Okay.... I understand now... answer is he would’ve laughed and played it:) He kinda played that Floyd style anyway. He loved Floyd. Thanks again for watching... Joe

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I tried very diligently a few years ago to somehow see if I could get the Don Robertson demo on "Please Help Me I'm Falling" where, as the story goes, Don played that slip note style and Chet (I think) asked Floyd to emulate it. No success in locating the demo. Probably ended up in a studio trash can. 😢

wow .. this was so great ... I never knew who Pig was. The Dylan info is fabulous. He is writing one of his pathetic screeds while "real" musicians are hanging out waiting .. says about all I needed to know about Dylan, and the music recording executives who funded Dylan's bad poem/music.

One of us must know (sooner or later) was the one recorded in NY. ( Screech poem) The other 12 or so songs on Blonde was recorded in ONLY 3 DAYS! Or nights. Getting the band to start playing so late was to get them to play everything only once. All in one room. And no screens. Real playing and singing. One take. Relax and hurry up🥕

Dylan is legendary for his one takes he hated headphones didn't overdub just loved to play most of his recording live and mainly in one take. Not 6 weeks to make an album like other artists. There's a reason he's the only musician in history to win a Nobel prize for literature.

@ptsmith4660 2 жыл бұрын

@@mrjasondylan .. what does Dylan's crap music have to do with the Nobel prize? he won it because the Nobel prize is a fkn joke. Dylan, after his 1960's composition period, sucked, totally sucked. God, I remember attend a concert of Dylan's in the 1980's. To say awful does not incapsulate just how bad it was. The sound of puke hitting the pavement was better music.

@@mrjasondylan if you can win a nobelprize for writing and recording quickly then Leonard Cohen will never get it, even though he deserves it. News of the World, album by Queen was recorded and mixed in 2 weeks. Never mind the bollocks took a lot longer (they were recording next door) 😁 Brian May also get his Nobelprize. He wrote Gimme the prize already in '84🗽
