Speedy West & Jimmy Bryant

Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant formed what was arguably the boldest instrumental duo in country music. Their Capitol duets of pedal steel and lead guitar still sound futuristic today, and their breathtaking, fleet-fingered interplay is held to be unmatched.

Wesley Webb "Speedy" West, born on 25 January 1924 and raised in Springfield, Missouri, played lap steel from the age of nine and moved to Los Angeles in 1946. He ranks among the first true pedal steel guitarists in country music. Georgia-born Jimmy Bryant, a fiddler turned guitarist, was praised for his blistering playing as "Country Guitar from Outer Space."

Around 1947 the two met in the clubs along Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles and quickly became friends and kindred partners. As session men they backed countless California country stars and appeared on the television show "Hometown Jamboree." Fearlessly inventing new sounds in the studio, they carried Bob Wills' western-swing approach a quantum leap further.

The idea of the electric guitar-and-steel ensemble came from Bob Wills' western swing; West and Bryant drove it far forward. Often backed by jazz drummer Roy Harte, they cut most of their Capitol instrumentals between 1952 and 1956. California was at the same time the testing ground of instrument makers such as Leo Fender and Paul Bigsby.
