Who was that artist?? (John Braddon)

I'm trying to recall the name of an artist whose album I had nearly 30 years ago. Here's what I can recall about the album: 1. Pete Kleinow ("Sneaky Pete") played backup on at least some of the songs. 2. In particular, Kleinow played backup on a cover of "What A Friend We Have In Jesus", doing an extended solo on his pedal-steel guitar that was simply amazing. 3. The artist whose album it was was a man who sang in a very high, nearly falsetto, voice. 4. The cover photo showed the singer wearing a broad-brimmed, flat-brimmed, black hat. There may have been a barn in the background. Not much to go on... Does anyone out there recall the album, the singer?

Thanks! Charles Meyrick

Well, after 4 years, I found the answer. Pete Kleinow has a website, so I sent him a note asking him. The artist's name was JOHN BRADDON. I have been unable to locate a copy of the album after some fairly strenuous web-crawling.

Does anyone recall this singer? What became of him? Any idea where I can get a copy of the album?

Many thanks.

Chuck

Never heard of him, but I sure would like to have heard him play his 'taht'!
