killer musicians....
We can never forget Reggie’s contributions to popular music, country, R&B, early rock & roll. A Mount Rushmore guitarist for me.
Thanks for another great interview, Otis, and for introducing me to JD. And thank you JD. We can’t ever give too much R-E-S-P-E-C-T to the great session players. Reggie Young is also on the first John Prine album.
“Makin’ far too little progress for a man that lives like this”. Thanks for the coffee my friend.
Great Line !!
I met Reggie when he was playing in Waylon’s band. Waylon had just signed my guitar, which was one of those Fender Custom Shop Waylon tribute guitars and Reggie walked over and very nicely asked if he could see it. Of course I said yes and he took it and played a few quick runs up and down the neck, smiled and said “that’s pretty nice” and handed it back.
Really loving these clips with JD. He's a well-spoken, passionate musician. Thank Otis!
Thank you for these great stories of session players and recording of what would now be called the past. Many sessions today are done remotely with plugins and are then pieced together in a final mix. Also home recording capabilities have put many previous recording facilities hanging on to be profitable.
‘Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin’ Bob Dylan
EXCELLENT piece! JD seems to be in the mold of Reggie...a nice guy, and a great player>
Great to hear the Clarence White acknowledgement. May he RIP.
Man, this was great, I love Reggie! I gotta say that the current crop of guitar players, many of them your friends, JD, Buckovac and Guthrie Trapp are right up there. Here's hoping for long, good careers for them too. Thanks Otis
I got to meet JD in Idaho several years ago, he is a great standup guy and was so gracious to everyone. Loved his guitar playing and singing!!
+1 for Reggie Young! I met him several times in my Nashville years and he was always kind. One time it was at a Players (Brent Mason, Paul Franklin, Michael Rhodes, Eddie Bayers and John Hibbs) gig at 3rd and Lindsley and he was sitting at a table with Bucky Barrett and Willie Weeks. He paid me a nice compliment on my playing on my MySpace page, which I have a screenshot of. My favorite time was an "only in Nashville" moment. My step daughter's Brentwood High prom was at The Factory in Franklin. I had a gig that night at Saffire, which is also in The Factory, so on my break I snuck into the prom to check on her and was surprised to hear a live band. Who was the guitarist, Reggie Young, and in a tuxedo, as the whole band was!
I enjoyed this Otis and JD. Thanks.
Great recollections! As an old guy in the crafts, I say let the young guys take up the reigns!
Great story. Thanks Otis.
The guitarist that is forgotten and never mentioned was the guy with Bill Haley and The Comets, I don’t even know his name but when I heard Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats I said ah, he listened to those records
There are many more that a 'spotlight' does miss. Back in their day how many were appreciating Robert Johnson and many like him in a very different time. There is much to appreciate on a river's bridge with the coming and going. ☮
Howdy Otis, JD is such a cool cat, I could listen to you guys talk for hours! More to explore. Have a great weekend!
Great inside look at Reggie Young. Great interview. Thanks!
Wonderful episode! Thank you Otis! One of the absolute highlights of my early career was playing in Nashville at the RCA Studio in 68, 69, and 70. I was there because I worked for Bonnie Guitar at the time and did several sessions with Don Tweedy. I was so humbled to be in any session knowing I heard guitar players everyday that were so much better than I was as a kid from Renton, Washington in his late teens turning 20. Great memories of those unsung heroes of the studio.
Love these stories
Wonderful interview. JD, I saw you so many times at Robert's. I might have even seen you you're very first night with Don Kelly. So thrilled that your career has gone so well! Much love to you
Setting up people to win is underrated. Massively. My best memories playing music have always been from that perspective. It's a great way to approach life too.
I feel so clueless sometimes, I have missed so much but thanks to you Otis and your wonderful interviews,, now I know..
Here we go again. I should know about Reggie Young. I’m a huge music enthusiast of all the genres mentioned, but I don’t. Otis and JD, thank you for the expansion. I’m diggin’ in to find me some Reggie!
Big fan of JD 👍🏻✌🏻
I can listen to this stuff all day excellent history lesson.
Huge rock and blues guy here. Despite that perhaps the two most amazing and memorable recorded guitar parts in my history are Grady Martin in "El Paso" and Reggie Young in "Drift Away"...classics that will never ever die...
Thank you Otis
Another good one. Thanks so much for this, both of you.
it remains if not keeps growing how noteworthy the chashm between who are clealry kind compassionate caring...good...and those who are troubled in an outwardly not inwardly harmful way and thereof take it out by mistreating others being self absorbed being rude lacking in compassion...bad..... aging doesnt make it less astounding when someone, probably a downside of social media that its more prevalent, be so...ahem bless their hearts and thanks for helping us focus on the greats and understand why they are great so we can be aiiit much love SJJOCR
"The kind of guy that would wear his own T shirts". Classic line.
👍thanks otis
setting up others to win!
Thank you
Why not be helpful if you can!
A really unknown Telecaster player is a guy named Scotty Anderson. 👍
Really great!
American Sound Studio took a big hit in business after Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated. Like Aretha cancelled an album. Artists refused to go to Memphis. That's from oral history by Reggie himself, I think from a Musician's Hall of Fame interview but it might have been Otis.
Awesome!!!
❤❤❤Reggie Young
Honorable mention to Harold Bradley, that man had a career and was doing sessions not only spanning generations but was pickin' at a good level even when on dialysis. Amen to that human.
Wonder who that "more famous" player that would "wear his own shirt" is, hmmmm!???
Love this stuff! I’m not as good as any of my hero’s.
we need to hear the full paul mccartney story, how was he even with paul and doing what? etc
Share vocal master in the backnground.
the dont meet your heroes malarky has long proven to me to lead to one comment get some new heroes ive met lots of cats i adrmire ive never left thinking what a let down the thru line of people on ur channel who i share on community raidio show people on line people at a show people u talk to longer that are the type we truly admire for the content quality and tone of their work (not based off sales fame etc) is almsot 100% they all are generous kind compasssionate caring itneresting good people
👍🎸😔
Session players are players for players that know what true playing is. Hence why Ronnie Van Zant canonized "The Swampers". I've always figured that when the vast majority of people first heard Sweet Home Alabama they were like "what are Swampers" but the legends in the making at the time Sweet Home Alabama was new knew exactly who he was talking about and would travel from literally a different continent just to get to play with and be produced by these guys. Not to mention the geniuses in Motown and Nashville throughout the ages.
Such amazing stories and history, ecen if its the Cliff's Notes.
Thanks, Otis and JD 🙏🏻🤍
Fantastic episode! Thank you Otis! Thank you JD! And most definitely, Thank you Reggie!! ❤❤❤
Always a pleasure to listen to JD, one of the most modest, intelligent and passionate guitar players around.

Otis, do you have a PayPal?
You ARE that type of musician JD! Cheers Otis, that was great!
LOVE the mention of Clarence in that group! Martin, Cropper, and Jimmy Johnson belong in that group too (of course).
What great stories and a great story teller. Have added Reggie Young to my huge list of unseen players I have been joyed to learn from the Otis channel. Will well look up JD to hear him do his thing. Thanks much Otis and JD.
Wait … I’ve got to know who’s the other guitar player your talking about that would wear his own T-shirt!!???😂
Thank you, always appreciate your Saturday programs.
Which comes first, the chicken or the egg..ha ha…to me, and this is what I heard him saying..what makes a good musician is the person they are. How good a player, how good an artist, yes, that’s a big-deal, but to me, who cares if your art is so great but you are an a-hole?
The person comes first….if they are a musician or a truck driver, etc.
Excellent interview, thanks! Saw JD at Robert's with Don Kelly. Ghost Riders in the Sky with his Telecaster and Deluxe Reverb was incredible.
The guitar knowledge between JD and Zach Childs is Ridiculous 🎸 🎶 ❤️
Top five favorite session guitarists that were everywhere/ still are in my gen.
5. Waddy Wachtel
4. Larry Carlton
3. Reggie indeed
2. James Burton
1. Steve Lukather if you just think he's only Toto you're wrong
Good to see you here 👍
@@artemisXsidecross hey what's up yeah I don't always comment some of the stuff I just watch.
I've been following Otis for quite a while 🤠✌🏻
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist
I have been here for a good time too ☮
Fantastic stories from a master musician!
Thank you, Otis. Also, I can't say enough good things about Reggie's solo album Forever Young and in particular the tribute to his wife, the eponymous 'Jennifer'. So beautiful.
Otis' interviews are full of info, like this with JD. THE THING IS THEY ARE SO FUNNY. Otis has to be in Guinness world records for interviewer least words used. Asks a question hre or there to nudge it along and off they go. Priceless...his laugh is contageous
Thanks for helping bring Reggie into the limelight, such an underestimated guitarist. I love Reggie's only solo album Forever Young which he released when he was in his 80's. a great album.
I love Reggie, his sweet nature and incredible guitar playing.
Another great one Otis!
Wondrous way to greet the new morning, thank you both and all the session players that have made it possible!!
