She's always been fond of steel players, and married one.

That Derby sure has a nice sound. And Terry has long since been one of my favorites.

Terry is such a great player. I remember Charlie Stepp was so proud that he was playing his guitars.

I've always loved that clip and Terry's tasty ride.

Thanks for posting it again!

A great clip and even greater steel ride. Reba at her best perhaps. And Gary, I would like to know who she married that was a steel player? I just do not know.
Of course I am behind times every which way, J.R.

Anyone who's played a Derby know they are as good as it gets. God Bless Charlie..he built such great guitars.

I'm honored to own one of Terry Crisp's old steels... even if it did get dropped and broke the two necks in half

It wasnt me, but I did fix it!!

Narvel Blackstock played steel for Reba before and shortly after they married.

Dave Stroud, did you get the green Derby? That was my favorite of the Derby's that Terry played.

I have watched that video several times. She gave him a longer break than the recording on the CD did. Absolutely wonderful playing by Terry.

Me and my wife was in Vegas last week and she knew how in love I've always been with Reba since she first made her mark in Country music. She surprised me with tickets to see her along with Brooks & Dunn. Beautiful as always along with her beautiful voice, yeppers that made my trip complete. Dang I waited too long to pick up the steel, sitting here now telling myself I might of had a chance, oh well she's a lot better off without me.

I know this is a little off topic of just appreciating Terryâ€™s playing, but looking at his left hand technique...itâ€™s a bar grip very similar to Buck Reidâ€™s. I can see that it facilitates the forward slant. I have tried and canâ€™t for the life of me figure out how to get control of the bar that way. Anyone else?

J R Rose · Post by **J R Rose** » 23 Oct 2018 7:01 pm

No one has an answer to Joe Longs question? J.R.

Bobby Boggs · Post by **Bobby Boggs** » 23 Oct 2018 8:38 pm

The last I heard the Blade was with Buddy's son Larry. Buddy gave Terry a guitar long before he past. I could be wrong. But think it was a Bolt ON that had been modified with a Franklin undercarriage. Again, that was years ago. Pretty sure that's correct. However, I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

Read this after I made the above post.

I've known Terry since he started playing. He's always held the bar that way. I told him it looked weird. He said it felt natural. At any rate, don't seemed to have hurt his playing that much. $:\$

I tried using that left hand position. It felt pretty comfortable, but for some reason it made doing bar slants more difficult. I ended up going back to the more traditional way of holding the bar, and now I can slant the bar better. I still don't understand why that was an issue, it just felt awkward for some reason, but Terry can sure make it work. He has always been one of my very favorites.

monster player for sure.

I think Terry Crisp is the best commercial pedal steel guitarist in the world that did not spend a lifetime day after day in a recording studio. Reba should be honored to be on the same stage with Terry.
