Johnny Paycheck - My Baby Don't Love Me Anymore (1967)
Post Valentine's Day blues? I recently got my hands on the LP Jukebox Charlie and Other Songs That Make the Jukebox Play, and it's a good one. Hard honky tonk with Lloyd Green on steel pedal.
Rickenbacker in Country music? Why yes!
Rickenbacker players are far fewer than Fender/Gibson devotees so I was pleasantly surprised to come across this guy playing a Ric with George Jones. Check out Jerry's Ric solo at 0.50.(also, that's Johnny Paycheck on bass).
So down the Google rabbit hole I went: The guitarist is Jerry Starr (1936-2008). He was the lead guitarist for the Jones Boys (George Jones' band, which was started in 1962). Hard to trace exactly but he was definitely in the band in 1964-1965. Eventually he deciding to leave the touring musician life to build hand-made guitars for 30 years in Albuquerque, NM, where he died at age 71. The guitars he made are collectors' items.
