Buddy Spicher
Buddy Spicher has been one of “Music City’s” most in-demand studio musicians for over three decades and he helped define modern country music. He is known as the consummate professional musician; versatile and creative and able to provide arrangements that have stood the test of time.
His style of playing and arranging is easily recognizable and became associated with the sound of the fiddle in country music itself. The familiar velvet smooth fiddle in George Strait’s, “Amarillo by Morning” is an example of Buddy’s smooth style that serves to define the song. Buddy’s contributions to many classic recordings can’t overstated. It’s the fiddle of Buddy Spicher behind famous recordings by Webb Pierce, Ray Price; Bill Monroe;, Kitty Wells; Jimmy Martin and Hank Snow, as well as those of Bob Wills; The Lewis Family; George Strait; Linda Ronstadt; Hank Thompson; Henry Mancini; Bob Dylan; The Rolling Stones; Dan Fogelberg; Crystal Gayle, The Osborne Brothers, and Garth Brooks, to name a few. He received the Country Music Association’s “Musician of the Year” award in 1983 and 1985.
