Emmons went from playing strip clubs to a Grand Ole Opry debut with Little Jimmy Dickens at age 18. His restless experimentation led to work with Ernest Tubb and Ray Price--and established him in a career that saw him play alongside a who's who of American music. Fishell weaves in stories and anecdotes from Willie Nelson, Brenda Lee, Linda Ronstadt, Pat Martino, and many others to provide a fascinating musical and personal portrait of an innovator whose peerless playing and countless recordings recognized no boundaries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A one-of-a-kind life story, \u003ci\u003eBuddy Emmons\u003c\/i\u003e expands our view of a groundbreaking artist and his impact on country music, jazz, and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Fishell\u003c\/b\u003e is a Nashville-based pedal steel guitarist, Grammy-winning record producer, and educator.
