These boys made some of rippin'-est western swing tracks the west has ever seen. The kooky and springy pedal steel of Speedy mixed with the 'take off guitar' telecaster style of Bryant is the perfect combination for any event. Besides DJing them at fashion shows or dingy bars, I put them on to clean my apartment, have a dinner party, or just to dance around in my underwear. They are seriously from another world, but not 'a session musicians gone wrong' world, something much more wholesomely fucked up than that. They put the giddy back into giddy up. Here is them backing up Tennessee Ernie Ford on Youtube.Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant doing "Sandy Canyon Swing"
