Thread Name: So who caught the Dixie Chicks on TV?
Subject: RE: So who caught the Dixie Chicks on TV?
I thought it was a truly enjoyable evening of well played music. I do think the Chicks themselves show fine musicianship and the added bonus treat that I didn't see anyone making note of...

Man! That was Adam Steffey and Brian Sutton tearing up on mando and guitar (respectively).

In my estimation Adam plays with the finest tone of any mando player recording today. He was with Union Station for about five CDs and it is his wonderful intro to "I've Got That Old Feeling" that makes it such a charming recording.

Sutton is the young gun introduced a few years back as the guitarist-on-fire in Kentucky Thunder -- Ricky Skaggs' bluegrass band. He has since gone on to be the guitar in the new Dolly Parton bluegrass CDs as well as guesting on CD gems such as those by Aubrey Haynie and touring with the Bela Fleck's "Bluegrass Sessions" band when Tony Rice fell ill.
