Classy stuff! Reminded how good an FZ sounds with a bass, the original intended instrument...
Love how fun those tracks are; God bless Les Paul!
His personality comes right through—his sense of humor, his ingenuity, I wish he were still around.
Thanks charge!
Do we know what year those tracks are from?

Discogs has the "Swingin' South!!" album released in 1962!

Makes sense as the Ann Margret version of "I just Don't Understand" is from June of 1961. I always forget how early some of these recordings are!

Re: 1960s Sounds of the Maestro Fuzz Tone FZ-1 & FZ-1A
This is a blast from the past, but I just noticed Numero are re-releasing Sanford Clark's "They Call Me Country" and their blurb suggests it's Waylon Jennings (!!) playing the fuzz guitar on the album:psycho*daisies wrote: ↑Mon Oct 16, 2017 5:41 am Yes!!! Isn't that main guitar fantabulous?!
Btw, Is it Tremolo or Vibrato? I think it might be the latter, but curious what others think...
And i must say I'm not 100% that's even a steel guitar with Fuzz-Tone - just a guess, the way he's playing it (whoever it was), is playing similar licks that a harmonica player would play, right? But then some parts just have a resonance like a stringed/guitar. Magnificent production!
At first i was gonna say, it's probably Al Casey on the up-front guitar, and Lee Hazlewood on production, but i looked at Clark's wikipedia and looks like he quit for a few years around 1960 and then did some singles like this, but no mention of Casey and produced by Ramsey for his label, Ramco.
You think that amp is a Magnatone, Fender (brownface) or other?

Recorded between 1965-67 and originally released as a series of singles for Phoenix’s Ramco label, the 12 tracks on this LP borrow Bakersfield’s outlaw sound and ignore Nashville’s countrypolitan flair, standing as a true lost masterpiece of country music’s third generation. Clark’s booming baritone tells tales of bar fights, heartaches, and drinking til you can’t stand, while Waylon Jennings provides a backdrop of fuzzed out guitar twang. Mastered from the original session tapes and back on vinyl for the first time since the Nixon administration.

The Outcasts - “People” Hard to say if this is a Maestro Fuzz-Tone, but it is definitely early and primitive so we’re putting it here. I love how puny sounding it is. Ha ha
