Tommy is one of the best. Also a great recording engineer and producer.

Prior to Tommy Detamore, Rick Price was Jakes steeler. I think Rick retired from the regular gig schedule but is still working some. My friend Randall Palmore subs with Tommy some. I’m Randall’s guitar mechanic & I keep his guitars fouled up just enough to keep him from quiting his day job. Loessberg is Jody Nix’s steeler. We have at least two younger guys just tearing it up, Adam Goodale & somebody help with Bobby Flores Steelers name. They're not up & coming, they’re already there. Ain’t Texas great!
