The Happy Goodman Family Band recorded an album that is now quite rare.

What is the name of this album?

Seems like I have seen this and it is on Harvest label maybe "Going Home"
A better title might be Crook and Company

100 Miles Out'a Nashville.

I agree with Dean and part of Rich'L's answer. Harvest, 100 miles and should be called Crook and Company.


P.S.

To JCBOY - :thanks:

If the one Dean mentioned is right, I think i have that one although I never listened to it.

You can get the album on a "remastered" CD for $15 on the Goodman website but it doesn't seem to make clear the album is by the band and not by the Goodman Family.

Who are the other 2 members of the band besides Mr. Crook?

I know they are not Friends.

Dean is correct and I would love to get my hands on an original!

Make me an offer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's Ricky Goodman on the left.

I know not everyone in SG gets along, but I would hope that bandmates would at least be friends. ;)

And maybe Duke Dumas ?

One of them was at one time!! :D

Definitely Duke Dumas!

I think Jack Smith (Mr. Vickie Goodman) and Larry Strleki (sic) were also on the album. Also Aaron Wilburn. :doggie:

100 Miles Out of Nashville is right. Good job, Dean.

The picture is Ricky Goodman, Eddie Crook, and Duke Dumas.

Dean, let me know if you ever want to part with it. The lowest price I've seen on the net is $15.

Hmm . . . Happy Goodman hits without having to listen to their singing???

:whistling:

Haha! Your funny! Whatever happened to Jimmy "Duke" Dumas?

And didn't Eddie Crook play for that other group that you like, ah, what's their name....oh yeah, The Prophets?

I don't know, but Duke was a tremendous guitarist.

I haven't heard Eddie with the Prophets, but he really did some great playing with the Plainsmen, didn't he Ben?

I remember sitting at the sound board at GOGR with Buddy Burton. Eddie was playing for some scrap iron quartet. He did this little lick . . . nothing extremely fancy, but so tasteful and unusual. Buddy Burton and I just looked at each other with a "MAN DID YOU JUST HEAR WHAT HE DID??" look on our faces.

Eddis Crook is a great piano player. Like Jack Clark and Dickie Mathews, he is very underrated. Eddie was with the Plainsmen from '64 to '67. I don't believe he ever played for the Prophets.

True story.

Jack Mainord lived in Arkansas and they were trying to get to his hometown. . Jay Simmons was driving the bus. They came to a low water crossing that was flooded. Jack told Jay he could make it. While the bus was literally "floating" across the creek, Eddie Crook and the rest of the group took off running to the back of the bus. Jay and Jack thought that was pretty funny. Eddie and the rest didn't think it was funny at all.

From a March 26th, 2008 press release:

I gave Jay, Ed Hill's phone number. B)

Well, Eddie is probably in his first Prophets group,I'd bet. I know he was with the Tennesseans before he went with the Plainsmen......but, you guys already knew that.....lol. I just wanted to be part of this thread someway. ;)

Eddie played for the Sego Brothers and Naomi for a time as well, I believe.

Since I own a copy of that LP, I would have beat the Dean to it, but I work at the local Ford dealer and we've been a tad busier than usual after baseball size hail on 4/17.

BTW, I use a couple of cuts from that LP as fill music on Sunday mornings. Eddie's instrumental arrangement of I Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now has been used by every pianist since then.
