"This is a classic. Tasty guitfiddle playing and a great choice of material. You can't help but two-step around the kitchen a couple o' times when listening to this one. Redd has great crisp phrasing and can comp with the best of them. I guess thats why he's backing up Merle-duh!"

Redd Hott Tele Player

"I had the honor of meeting Redd at a Merle concert and was privileged to give him a vintage '56 Fender pick. I became an instant fan of Redd's after hearing him play with the country legend. Telewacker is an incredible guitar album, which includes some pretty nice vocals by the guitarist. He not only plays traditional country, but also dabbles in the blues. When you buy the CD, get a load of Redd's hands. How on earth does he get that beautiful, delicate, refined sound out of those sausage-sized fingers?"

Two All-time Masters on Telecasater & Pedal Steel Guitar

"Redd Volkaret's mastery of the telecaster puts him in a rarified company that includes only a handful of players who combine taste, touch and tone in such a way that they both define and break open the boundries of their genre. Redd's playing touches on Bakersfield country music, western swing, Django, chicken pickin', 60's rock, Roy Lanham and more. The late steel guitarist, Big Jim Murphy played fabulous, rich C6th chord solos in the Curly Chalker mold as well as great E9th country. He and Redd were truly simpatico. If you dig Country music with a touch of swing you won't regret buying this one."
