Joe Chambers does an amazing job 👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸 He’s the best
❤️ Joe is THE BEST
Thanks Joe, Billy was such a joy to listen to. What an extraordinary life and character!
Our band was playing one night and a guy got up on stage to play guitar with us. I was on drums and we let people get up and play all the time. After about 6 George Jones` songs in a row I asked the singer: "Hey Mike, why all the George Jones` songs?" He pointed at the guy on stage and said: "That`s George Jones` guitar player!" It was close to Christmas and George was visiting family in Louisiana. He was down the road at a relative`s house and his guitar player had driven his big car with horns on the hood to the club! The front plate said "No Show." We tried to get the guitar player to go get him but he wouldn`t.
I am a Memphis musician and have produced thousands of commercial jingles in my lifetime. I always told folks, it didn't matter if you liked it or not as long as the math was correct. Charlie Rich went to High School with my Mom and Dad btw in Forrest City, AR.
WOW!! I love Charlie Rich ,miss him too
Joe, can’t wait to visit your hall of fame! You were able to show Billie’s humility in this interview! I believe his success was due to his knowledge of his strengths and weaknesses!💫
We might be opening again before too long... Look forward to seeing you then. Best..... Joe
Wow, thank you Joe! Many things came to mind listening to this segment. One jumps out: when Billy says he got out as a dinosaur, the expression on his face and the sound in his voice seem to convey the feeling that he left just as musical integrity was being pushed to the side. He seems real proud, in a good way. Thank you again!
Thanks John.... Billy was like my second Dad.... like I’ve said many times before.... he was truly one of a kind. Best... Joe
I could listen to ten parts. Definitely my favorite interview so far. Thanks, Joe.
Thank you Roger.... Joe
Terrific interview Joe! Loved it when Billy stated at the end that "Musicians are the unsung heroes of the record business". Class act all the way around............ 😉😉👍👍🎤🎤🎸🎸👍👍
Thanks Steve....... Joe
Joe I watched both episodes chock full of great tales! Did not know Warren Haynes played with David Allen Coe. One time I did get to run into Johnny Paycheck at the Pallamino in L.A. around 1978 all cool characters. Thanks again!
Thanks John..... Best, Joe
By damn, he nailed it when he was talking about how homogenized everything sounds now. They use the same seven session players on every production and there's no variety in the approach any more. Crying shame. Good interview, Joe.
Thanks Johnny.........Joe
Always interesting to hear an interview, both parts ,someone like Billy Sherrill as successful as his career is, to hear what makes them tick. Sounds like he is one of those "it's my way or the highway' type guys. Man he sure was involved in many hits songs for sure. Sure sad so many of these musicians have passed since you done these 'Vault Series" interviews. Thanks again Joe for capturing the back stories on many great musicians of this era.
Thanks for watching Barry….Joe
Thanks for a great interview ,I notice when he’s given a compliment he brushes it off ,he obviously has so much humility ! I miss Billy Sherrill ,one of a kind ,so wish he was still here !
Hi Julie how are you doing
Joe, you are doing an incredible job of saving our music. Thank you!,
Thanks Donnie…Joe
I have loved Billy Sherrill songs, fantastic. A smart executive, businessman. Learned a lot about his stable, CBS. In the past, RCA and their producer got the spotlight. Billy was open to answer questions, but he waited for your questions. You, obviously did a lot of research to come up with your interview. Lots of great information here. I wanted more about pedal steel guitars and violins, mandolins, dobro. Peter Drake, yeah, great textures, sublime, not overwhelming, tasteful. Writers are so important, co-writing, bouncing ideas off each other. Billy’s cosmopolitan sound with Charlie Rich, terrific. Johnny Paycheck had great songs and could really sing. Nashville has so many artists and styles. Late forties through 1970’s were my favorite times. Thanks for sharing Billy with us.
Hi Thomas... You obviously are a serious fan as am I. I didn’t research anything for this interview. I lived it. Billy was like a second dad kinda to me.,He opened his door to me and gave me a once in a lifetime chance as a complete nobody to hang and watch and learn in real time. I wrote for his publishing company, worked for him at CBS Records but most importantly to me he was my friend. It was a great experience to say the least. Thanks for watching and your comments... Joe
Joe thanks for a terrific interview. Billy will always be one of my all time musical heroes. He had the most incredible ear and unerringly superb taste. The list of classics he’s responsible for is immense. One of my personal favourites is You And Me by Tammy. Sublime!
Hi Dean.... I’m glad you enjoyed it... Billy was one of my very best friends. I love that song You and Me too. I think Tammy was Billy’s personal favorite artist he produced. There was just something special about her voice that he loved producing. Thanks for watching our channel.... Best, Joe
When Billy spoke of the intelligence of the singers learning songs and the time it took, whew! Besides Tammy’s magnificent, unique voice, she was smart and could learn a song quickly. Also, she could sing the harmony to her songs perfectly. Anyone who sings harmony knows how difficult it is. Groups that sing harmony and duets are popular. The unique timbre of the voice blend creates such character.
This guy reminds me of a sheriff or a judge for some reason.
Billy did have that air about him.
best..... Joe
Excellent interview; I just love these. I could listen to them all day. I can't wait to see the hall of fame on my next trip to Nashville.Thanks Joe!
Thanks Geoff…Joe
I hope you know that what you’re doing is an incredible legacy the next generation will discover without you doing this most of it would be forgotten thank you once again Stephen M Patton
Thanks Steven…Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum be kind too yourself my friend-I wish you much happiness and peace you are much more important than you may realize - The best is yet to come! Stephen Patton
The Legend continues! Another great video Joe!
I really appreciate what you’re doing Mr. Chambers thank you very much Stephen M Patton
Pt1 and Pt2 makes up one of the best and most interesting interviews I have ever listened to.
Thanks Shooter.... Joe
Joe, what you are doing is so great. What a treasure trove of history you opened up here. I also love the picture of the two of you at the end. I want to come to visit your museum someday when we get back to something more normal.
I’d love to meet you Terry... sincerely, Joe
Thanks for all these Joe. Love your real world- musican focused- questions in your interviews- Insightful is word that comes to mind. You get these guys to open up about the Art- the Magic if you will. Myself a Country Boy with his Feet in (West) LA....been thru the alley, inside that hallowed Quonset hut myself. God Bless.
Thanks Mark…..Joe
At 30:25 Billy Sherill passed away in 2015 and left a huge legacy in the history of country music. At 30:25 this genius calls himself a dinosaur. This reinforces what has become of great country music. Thanks to you Joe for this interview.
Man, what a guy! Another great interview letting him roll along and leading him into those great stories.
Oily.... Thanks... very glad you liked it... Best, Joe
I really appreciate your adding photos throughout the interviews. I enjoy placing faces with names.
Thanks again mtc… yes our editor, Jay, adds those pictures… Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Thank God for muti-talented Jay! Nashville and the museum are on my bucket list.
At least, Jones paid Billy the $100 bet.
It is so important that you did these interviews and people were willing to talk about their music history. So many important things were forgotten, in times past, because we did not have the technology to record oral history.
Another fascinating interview with a truly remarkable man. This is definitely one of the most educational and interesting interviews you've ever done, and a wonderful contribution to music history. PS--- thanks to CZcams I can immediately look up songs like "Tipsy" and find it, which I had never heard before.
Hi Joe.... Yes.... Billy was like my second Dad. He gave me a chance... merry Christmas......Joe
Joe! Thanks for the great interviews. And thanks for Good Ones and Bad Ones! The second verse is one of my all time favorite passages of lyrics!
Thanks Jeff…Joe
Did you HAVE to put all those violins on there?
Billy's answer: "Well......yeah"
Tom .....That was classic Billy.. thanks for watching.. Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum thank YOU Joe. These interviews are SO good!
Absolutely incredible !
Thanks Pete....... Best, Joe
What great stories!
Thanks for doing all this Joe! Great stuff! 🙏
You’re welcome Roger... Billy was my mentor. Gave me a chance and changed my life. Glad you enjoyed it. Best, Joe
Fantastic interview Joe!
Thanks Christopher… Joe
Billy Norris Sherrill ♥️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Billy did all kinds a great productions. But he didn’t compromise for fear of failure. RIP Billy Sherrill.
Very interesting
This is history. Thank you for sharing with us. I am surprised there wasn't more focus on the "Sherril / Sutton" partnership. Sherril and Sutton were the chief architects of the "Countrypolitan" sound.
Just a fascinating interview. That’s all.
Thanks BT.....Joe
What a great interview, Joe you always do such a great job. And Billy Sherri was a treasure. I know he had so many stories he could tell. Would have been a great thing to just set and hear them. And I never would have known that Joe cowhide Goo Ones & Bad Ones, boy that song got me through, one of those bad ones, after it was over lol. So thanks Joe you helped out this old boy with the one I didn't deserve. Now there a song title fir you.
Thanks Frank…..Joe
Thank you Joe.
Can anybody hum Carroll County Accident?
My favorite Sherrill comment about Red Headed Stranger - everybody was wrong. Willie was right. A man of few words, but they’re all gems.
So enjoyable to listen to. Bravo!
Thanks Andrew....Joe
Great interview Joe! You are the best!!
Thanks again Kevin....Joe
Wow !! Joe Old Billy the son of a preacher man . Joe this interview could have went on for days. I would have loved to hear about the days at Sun with Sam in the day.. Thanks Joe.
Hi Blue... yes Billy was like my second Dad.. I wrote for his publishing company and worked for him at CBS RECORDS. Glad you enjoyed it... joe
I'll second what Richard B. Davis commented!!!!
Joe, I could have listened to 2 weeks worth instead of two hours, wonderful work withdrawing all this historic information from this man. To think he started from the very bottom and worked his way to the very top and see the music industry completely come and then go, is some story and now that's he's gone every word and story is so important. Unfortunately he lived long enough to see the music industry get destroyed by the internet and at the end seemed glad he was out of the shitty business it's become.
True.... I spent 40 years knowing Billy. I helped lay him to rest. Like family to me. You and I would not be speaking now if not for Billy. He gave me a chance. It changed my life. Glad you liked it..... Best, Joe
Great stuff. Almost Blue has gotten critical reconsideration over the years and really stands up. It introduced a lot of kids up North to some really great songs and definitely sold more George Jones and Flying Burrito Brothers records as a result.
I was there when it happened Kale... Elvis actually ended up not liking Billy at least for a few years. Billy was like family to me. I knew him about as well as most anyone. Billy kinda liked messing around with people in a fun way. Elvis didn’t understand Billy’s sense of humor..... at all:). He also was kinda freaked out that Billy and Snake( Ron Reynolds the engineer ) carried little hand guns. They don’t have guns in England. Billy and Snake would shoot their guns while in the studio into the thick Nashville phone book yellow pages and bet what letter the bullet would stop. That didn’t go over well at all with Elvis.. Billy also had Elvis double every instrument on a song they were recording as a joke. I mean they doubled the drums, bass. keyboards, guitars .... everything... As it turned out it sounded great... Elvis thought Billy was a genius!!! Billy was just as surprised... it actually sounded great but it was meant to be a joke on Elvis. I think Elvis finally caught on that Billy was joking around with him and got very upset but like I said I think in time he understood Billy really liked him and the album was one of his best. Thanks for watching... Joe
Wow Joe thank you again for this wonderful information and interview.?
Ronnie, my dad, Joe, would have really appreciated your kind comment & support for the channel… and so do I. Hope you can visit the museum sometime.
All the best,
Britt
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum You are sure welcome.
Thanks Ronnie
Man if you don’t love it, you’ll hate settling at that board listening to the same thing over and over again.
Joe that was great, really very good. Billy Sherrill the best producer. Only thing missing is that good lookin daughter of yours!!!!LOL
I can’t argue with you on that... looks like her Mother. Thanks for watching John..... Best, Joe
My wife got hooked on Willie from Stardust. My hippy friend got hooked on Willie from Phases and Stages. 😅
Awesome interview
Raymond, my dad, Joe, passed September 28th, but I know he would have appreciated your kind comment. It’s rare to find a interview with Billy- he and dad were very close and I’m so glad this exist.
Hope you can visit the museum too- I’m sure you would love it, especially Billys exhibit.
Best,
Britt
We had Bobby out on a interview at WYXE in Hendersonville TN on my noon radio show. Just before my noon show, because my noon show was all gospel. Really interesting. Curly Putnam Green Green Grass of Home.
Magic...RIP Joe...miss you every day..
A Rhodes scholar working as a janitor. That tells you everything about Kris Kristofferson.
This is great!
Days gone by. Like, “whose gonna fill those shoes”? They are dying, one after another.
“Did you have to put all those strings in there?” “Well, yea”.
Oh yes Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile, what a contrast that really shows off David’s voice and separates him from the myth of him.
It's 1:40AM and the interview is over. I really want to get some sleep but I gotta go find this George Jones song "Good Ones and Bad Ones" first or I'll toss and turn until daylight...
Ed..... there are two different versions... one by George Jones alone and another with George and Mark Chestnut as a duet on the Bradley Barn album with George Jones and Friends:)
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I found the original with credit to you and Billy in the description. Some uploads have comments turned off but the ones that allow comments get lots of "Wow! this is a great song, why haven't I heard this before."
I have to agree with them and I think George was the perfect choice for it. Great job!
Thanks Ed.... I don’t know why it wasn’t a single. It happens all the time. It bums you out but every album cut can’t be released. Thanks again for your support........Joe
The main thing I believe a producer does is place the songs with that right artist and have your finger on the public’s pulse and know the demographic in’s and outs. And Billy did that automatically by instinct.
Larry Butler🎹 worked with Johnny! 🎸🎙🖤
I can’t believe this but we was sleeping in a Volkswagen and it was drizzling rain and I got out to get a can opener and Tammy and George’s bus is setting there, and this kid was the driver or cleaning up guy probably, he wanted to show me the inside of the bus and I said no I just wanted to borrow a can opener. Oh he wouldn’t do that ? They were parked off west end out there.!
100!!
At 36:40 I've listened for this squeak and can't find it. Anyone else?
Two of the top country songs in history, including Crazy by Willie. Stand By Your Man. He Stopped Loving Her Today. But the only big cover is Crazy.? Nobody covers icons that’s nailed down by a sound or a vocalist sound,?
Blue Velvet oh great
I absolutely love this series of interviews! The range of artists, personalities, and genres is remarkable......BUT, the CONSTANT interruptions for commercials RUINED the flow. A legend passes away and his recollections becomes a train wreck due to a half dozen blurbs. I recognize that everyone needs to earn a living and pay the bills but please show the respect the guest deserves by hanging the spots at each end versus this method of carpet bombing a mans train of thought. I apologize if I overstepped the boundary.
use ad block for pete's sake
I am not certain, but I feel that the sprinkled commercials are part of the CZcams "fabric", unfortunately. The other person's suggestion to block ads might cost a little bit, but should be worth it for you!
If I have said a once I have said a million times, DVD of these because nothing lasts forever, including this platform BUT man o man, Joe, a DVD Box Set ... Count me in, Joe.
Thanks again RC…..Let me check on it….we are very close to putting out a coffee table book of the instruments that have been on exhibit in the museum since we opened in 2006…….Best,.Joe
Tell me where to send the funding *)
Billy Sherill done amazing job picking George Jones to sing he stopped loving her today
This is not interesting, it's fascinating.
Glad you’re enjoying it Bill. Billy was one of a kind. He was not seeking fame for himself. He did want his artist and record label to do well as they were who he worked for but he was actually very shy. Very big hearted but didn’t want you to know. Best, Joe
