459 - Doyle Grisham

Doyle Grisham is a special guest on The Paul Leslie Hour!

This is an interview with pedal steel guitarist, studio musician,performer and member of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, Doyle Grisham. Doyle’s pedal steel guitar playing was once referred to as “tasty” by Rolling Stone magazine, and I have to agree. Some of the artists he has recorded with include Lynn Anderson, England Dan & John Ford Coley, Bill Anderson, Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary, Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, Dickey Lee, Jim Glaser, George Jones, Reba McIntire, Dan Seals, Randy Travis, Mel Tillis, Tiny Tim, and many others including countless albums from Jimmy Buffett.

In fact, Doyle played on all of those great classic Buffett songs from the 1970s that featured pedal steel guitar–Come Monday, Why Don’t We Get Drunk…, He Went to Paris, the list goes on and on. In fact, with the exception of one Buffett album–EVERY Buffett album which features pedal steel guitar owes credit to Doyle Grisham. We get the complete story about how Doyle Grisham started on the pedal steel guitar and more.

I look forward to talking with Doyle again someday!
