Steel Guitariste US Country né John Robert
Hughey, le 27 Décembre 1933 à Elaine (Arkansas). John Hughey est décédé le 18
Novembre 2007 d'une crise cardiaque.
US Steel Guitarist Country born John Robert Hughey,
on December 27, 1933 in Elaine (Arkansas). John Hughey was given a
Gene Autry flat-top guitar when he was
nine years old, but in his teens switched to steel guitar. He initially joined
the Phillips County Ramblers and later joined
Slim Rhodes And Mother’s Best
Mountaineers when their steel player was drafted to Vietnam and stayed with them
for 15 years. In 1968 he met up with his childhood friend
Conway Twitty and became a member of
Twitty’s backing band, the Lonely Blue
Boys. His steel guitar playing was featured on
Twitty’s first US country number 1,
‘Next In Line’. The Lonely Blue Boys evolved into the Twitty Birds and for a
time, also included John’s brother, Gene. His steel guitar with its ‘crying’
sound was featured on most of Conway’s chart-topping singles, but by 1980 Hughey
was becoming frustrated. Twitty had sold the franchise for his souvenirs to
another company and so his backing musicians no longer received their percentage
cut on the sales. Twitty was also moving away from the steel guitar and after
several unhappy years, Hughey finally left in 1988. He worked for
Loretta Lynn for a year and later
collaborated with Vince Gill. His session
work included two albums with Elvis Presley
(From Elvis In Memphis and Back In Memphis) as well as albums with
Joe Diffie,
Alan Jackson,
Reba McEntire, Dean Martin and
Dolly Parton. He also recorded and
toured with the Nashville-based session players ‘supergroup’ the Time Jumpers.
It is deceased on November 18, 2007
of a heart attack.
