Red Volkaert Fans ??

studio1087 · June 21st, 2008, 09:42 AM

I discovered Red while linking and linking through itunes (clicking on the "some listeners aslo bought XXXXX" links".

Wow.

How did I miss Red?

He's a slightly older chicken picker swing guy. I hate comparing any artist to another but take Matt Rae and slow him down ever so slightly and add a little swing twang. Red lives in Texas....you all probably know this.

I downloaded Telewacker.

I think I could drive for hours upon hours and listen to Red.

Oh yeah, Redd's got it goin' on alright !

one of our members has a sig line that proclaims Redd a Jedi Knight of the Tele, at one with The Force !

as he's a TDPRi'er himself, mebbe Redd will weigh in....

Red's a KILLER. True Heavy Weight Champion of Tele T.O.N.E.

newrider1969 · June 21st, 2008, 10:01 AM

Hard to miss Redd! His pic is on his cd cover at the top of every forum and post here on TDPRI! I love his music too. Listen to him all the time. I have a friend who took a trip to Austin a couple of years ago and I told him to make sure he went to the Continental Club to see him. He met Redd and had a great time. Sure wish I could have gone. Anyone here have any of the Heybale cds? Been meaning to get them but havent yet.

I feel like a sheltered cheesehead. I'm going to barbecue tonight and try to figure out my life.....while listening to Telewacker in the backyard.

Spidercaster · June 21st, 2008, 10:09 AM

Redd is amazing, no doubt about it. I'm glad you discovered his music.

Love Redd! Tremendous picker and singer.

You should definitely check out everything he's done...especially the DVDs.

I am going to see him live next month and can't hardly wait.

newrider1969 · June 21st, 2008, 10:09 AM

Just be glad that you discovered him and enjoy the excellent playing!

tc6969 · June 21st, 2008, 11:20 AM

I'm going to ask the question that everyone wants answered but no one wants to ask.

Is it Vol-kert or Vol-kay-ert?

There's no 'splainin' it. It's almost incomprehensible!! His name turns up in about 1 out of every 20 posts on the TDPRI. I think there may actually be a national holiday in his honour.

You obviously spend way too much time doing important stuff away from the computer.

Glad you said it! Everyone agree he's a monster picker, but I like his voice as much as his picking, and that says a lot

Tele Fan · June 21st, 2008, 11:58 AM

Don't forget that Redd's a real nice cat to boot!

mudbean · June 21st, 2008, 01:34 PM

I LOVE REDD!!! No worries, JLG - I never knew of 'im before I discovered this place, either. Bunch of other great players, too, like Brent Mason, Jim Campilongo, et al.

I first met "Red" down on the Alley at Skulls. Red, Billy D. and others were peeling the paint off the walls. It was awesome. I Later saw him again when he was with "Hag". One of the nicest guys you will ever want to meet. In my book a true living legend of the Tele. You guys Keep things going in Texas.

TB72 · July 14th, 2008, 03:40 PM

Redd and Cindy were at the Ottawa Bluesfest yesterday (and the day before actually). They did a killer set...finished up with Jessica from the Allman Bros.

Got to chat with them for a bit after the show...nice folks.

Later...

Musta been good. I wanted to go but I was out of town. In fact Redd himself gave us the heads up here on the TDPRI!

Whoever came up with the idea of pairing Redd and Cindy Cashdollar is a freakin' genius! I'd love to hear their take on "Jessica"

In Redd we trust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chet · July 15th, 2008, 08:05 AM

If you like him you should get the DVD of his concert at the Continental Club in Austin. He talks about himself in between song clips.

That's just so ironic because I did the same exact thing 2 weeks ago. I've been listening to "Telewacker" a lot. I happened to be looking at some other music on amazon and Red's recordings popped up. He is no doubt a Telecaster Giant !!!!!! I am planning on downloading more Red just as soon as I clear up my computer problems at home.

But seriously folks, this one time I'll say the dreaded words "use the search function". It seems like every week someone "discovers" Redd. I can relate though. Last month I found this guy named Hendrix. I hear he might be playing in Nashville soon...........
