Harold Bradley
Story by Hank Beach
I am humbled and proud to be able to call Harold Bradley a friend. He’s one of the first Bradley’s I met when I started coming to Nashville to record in the great studios around town. Believe you me, there are a lot of Bradley’s that have done some great things in country music. In fact, the late and great Owen Bradley, who produced Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, and so many others, is Harold’s brother.
I would always try and get Harold to play and be the leader of musicians on my recording sessions, and he did so a few times. Harold is the kindest, most professional, very approachable, honest person, I ever met on music row. He is deeply respected by all who know him, and is certainly a master musician. He is the most recorded guitarist of all time. The last time Edna and I talked with the late great Eddy Arnold, Harold and Eddy were having lunch at the “Ole Maude’s Court Yard” here in Nashville. When Edna and I entered, Harold saw us, and motioned us to the table. As we approached the table, they both stood up, the reason, a lady was coming to the table. Eddy was up in years at this time, yet he got to his feet, and pulled out the chair for Edna to sit down. These two were always gentlemen in the truest since. We talked for awh

THE GRASCALS Great musicians will always find a way to make good music, but for great musicians to make great music, they must form a bond – one that, more often than not, goes beyond the purely musical to the personal. For The Grascals, that bond has been forged at the intersection of personal friendships, shared professional resumes and an appreciation for the innovative mingling of bluegrass and country music that has been a hallmark of the Nashville scene for more than forty years. As their releases prove, The Grascals’ rare musical empathy gives them an unerring ear for just the right touch to illuminate each offering’s deepest spirit - whether they’re digging into one of their original songs or reworking a bluegrass classic or pop standard.
