I love that he seemed the most comfortable when he had a guitar in his hands. 🙂

What an understated man Chip Young was- a real master but down-to-earth and incredibly modest. I could listen to him all day long.

The haunting sound from Chip makes Jolene even more memorable. Several artists have covered it, but Dolly’s is by far the best. A debt of gratitude to Joe for documenting the musicians behind the music we love!

I'm so glad you had this bit more of Mr. Young. This is just as interesting and informative as the others. When he told of the guys at the session trying to play like he had for the demo and him being presented as "the guy who actually did the demo", reminded me of the Elvis session for "Guitar Man" when everyone was trying (and failing) to play the licks like Jerry Reed. Finally, someone said, "Instead of trying to find someone who can play like Jerry Reed, WHY DON'T WE JUST GO GET JERRY REED!" Great talent that's been underappreciated in a direct manner even though recognized by a multitude who didn't know where to show their respect. The name in bold under the title gets all the credit but the names in the fine print (or unnamed) are just as responsible for making it happen the way it did. Thanks, Joe. Great job as always.

I heard Jolene on the school bus the week it came out. I was 10 yrs old in the back seat loosing my mind & falling in love with Dolly.Lol I’d never heard any thing so eerie & mysterious as when that steel guitar comes in. Vickie Hobson at Lynn’s guitars showed me how to play the intro. Took her forever. Lol She asked me why I learned stuff so fast with others & not with her. Truth be told she was a pretty lady like Dolly & I’d be looking at her pretty hair,nails,sweater,smile, jewelry-you name it! Never looked at her fingers what I remember.lol I was an adult before I ever new Chip played on all these great songs. What a true inspiration he still is to me and many pickers.

It’s amazing how the best musicians are thinking about rhythms and not sounds. This is just awesome. On most every video clip of this interview, if Chip starts to vocalize a tune, it’s the rhythm, not the tune. If we’re lucky, he plays the tune (in the rhythm that’s in his head). Very cool.

To be fair Tim’s full of great stories too and they’re probably both more than worthy of being interviewed by your good self. Anyway, keep up the great work man.
