I would imagine that they probably put Red's and Buddy's takes on different tracks and saved them both back (well if they remixed it I guess they saved the multitrack tape without question) so I don't know if what you hear on the 1991 remix is what you didn't hear on the original from 1972.Before recording the album, Ronstadt hired guitarist Glenn Frey to assemble a touring band Frey did so with members of drummer Don Henley’s band Shiloh, who were signed to Amos Records at the same time as Frey’s previous band, Longbranch Pennywhistle.
Now to throw a twist into it: there are two versions of the song floating around out there - there's the original version off of the album "A Song for You", and there's also a very common "1991 remix" off of some other compilations, and they have different steel intros and fills all around as far as I can tell the only thing that I could tell was from the same tracking was the very ending riff. Thanks for all your responses guys - and thank you Buddy for giving us first-hand details on this. simply pick up pieces of my life and move on.
Meanwhile, I suspect that Richard Carpenter was doing his job as a producer by starting with a pedal steel sound in his head and doing what it took to get it on tape. I’ve been replaced more than once and my solution was to simply pick up pieces of my life and move on. Replacing someone else’s track or being bumped off of a track is not a big deal to me. Richard went as far as to sit at the piano and play notes for me to listen to that reflected the style he was looking for. It’s hard to speculate as to what may have been behind Richard’s structuring of the arrangement but judging from my experience with him I can only assume he wanted more signature licks and movement in the fills. More curious would be what was Red's reaction?Īs stated before, either of you could have done the song in it's entirety.as good as Red was, it is curious that something he played may not have been up to snuff.? When Richard rolled the song he told me he was going to keep Red's intro and ending and I was to play the fills.īuddy.might there be more to the story? Just curious as to why Red's fills (which I assumed he did record) were replaced. Additional personnel includes: Louie Shelton, Tony Peluso (guitar) Red Rhodes (steel guitar) Bob Messenger (tenor saxophone, flute, alto flute) Tim Weisberg (bass flute) Earl Dumler (oboe, English horn) Norm Herzberg (bassoon) Joe Osborn (bass) Hal Blaine (drums). The Carpenters: Karen Carpenter (vocals, drums) Richard Carpenter (keyboards, background vocals). The album was "A Song For You", and here are the listed musicians: It's tasteful as hell, but why would they choose to actually use 2 steelers? We all know both Buddy and Red are capable of doing the entire song justice. There really isn't much steel in the song. What's next, Buddy played the top five strings and Red played the lower five? Red did the intro, but just about everything else (except a few harmonics, I think), is Buddy. Red rhodes on the first half and buddy on the second half.
