Billy Cardine

Hey guys and gals.  My buddy Ben Mawhorter came over the other day to play some.  I really like Indian music and the Indian slide playing style.  I also like the way the approach can crossover into other genres.  It's one of the things I've been trying to squeeze into my dobro playing, with varying degrees of transparency, for some time now.  There's alot of the approach used in Sacred Steel music...I really like a bunch of those guys too.  I also used some in the Gypsy Jazz vid I posted some time ago.  Anyways, I hope you enjoy this lil clip.  Thanks for checking it out.

This reminded quite a bit of the cool vibe Jerry and Bela had going on in the Strength in Numbers project. Thought I'd post this gem in case anybody missed it! Looks like a good time was had by all!

So I was listening to that online radio station, Pandora a couple days ago, and I heard some AMAZING DOBRO PLAYING! It sounded sort of like Rob Ickes or J.D. but with a twist. I looked at the screen and saw that it was the Biscuit Burners. I had heard of them, but never really checked them out.

I'm sure most of you have heard about their Dobro Player, Billy Cardine, but a couple days ago was the first time I ever heard him. I was totally blown away!!! Wow!

I love it when I hear something like that just randomly, and discover a whole other voice on the instrument! It's great!

Anyway, I don't know if he's on here or not, but if he is...great playing Billy. I'll be checking out all of your other recordings. Anybody got any great recommendations?

Thanks!

Troy
