A master of pedal steel guitar, Buddy Emmons was born Buddie Gene Ammons on January 27th, 1937 in Mishawaka, Indiana. He was not only a magnificent player, but he also was a pioneer at modifying and enriching the sound of pedal steel guitar, adding pedals and changing the usual tuning to the instrument (for a while, he also had a company for building steel guitars).
Buddy Emmons joined Little Jimmy Dickens Band (called The Country Boys) in 1955. He was 18 at that time. In 1956, he joined Ernest Tubb and his band, called The Texas Troubadours. He stayed several years on and off, also starting a lenghty career as sessionman. In 1962, he joined Ray Price (his band was called Cherokee Cowboys). This was followed by Roger Miller Band in California. But after some time, Buddy returned to sessionwork in Nashville.
