Guitariste Country US né le 2
Janvier 1926 à Nashville
(Tennessee). Harold est le frère de Owen
Bradley. Harold Bradley est décédé le 31 Janvier 2019
The brother
of country music legend Owen Bradley,
Harold Ray Bradley is reportedly the most recorded guitar player in history. Not
a ridiculous assumption considering Bradley has been a Nashville session
musician for over 50 years.
Born in Nashville, Bradley first became interested in the banjo, but switched
over to the guitar after his older brother
Owen convinced him that the banjo was going out of style. His first
professional experience also came at the hands of his older brother who, by the
early '40s, was already a respected bandleader on WLAC. The eldest Bradley
arranged for Harold to tour with Ernest Tubb
during the break between his junior and senior years in high school. After
graduating and spending a stint in the Navy, Harold enrolled at George Peabody
College in Nashville, where he studied music and made extra money by backing
singers at the Opry.
By the late '40s Owen was one of the
most popular bandleaders in the country and, along with Harold, decided to build
Nashville's first recording facility, Castle Recording Studio. The small studio
lasted several years, until the Bradley brothers built a larger facility capable
of making stereo recordings. Around the same time Harold's session career began
taking off as well and, throughout the '50s and '60s, his reputation for
dependability and excellence landed him session work with some of the best names
in the business, including Patsy Cline,
Willie Nelson,
Roy Orbison, and
Elvis.
Playing bass guitar, Harold also invented the "tic-tac" style of muting the bass
notes. Throughout his career, he has never strayed far from his brother
Owen and, in a large way, the Bradleys
were among the key architects of the Nashville sound and style of recording,
helping to build a recording industry where previously there was none.
Harold Bradley died on January 31, 2019
