If you heard ANY and I mean ANY country music from the 90's and early 2000's, then you have heard Brent's unique style of playing. During that time, he was the ONLY session player in Nashville worth paying for. His playing can be heard on every album from every artist from Toby Keith to Brooks and Dunn. He has one of the widest ranges of style that I have ever heard. From Chickin' Pickin' country and modern Jazz to old Gypsy jazz in the Django Reinhardt vein. He plays it all, and most importantly, he plays it all FLAWLESSLY.

For an example of perfect jazz playing, here is the New Nashville Cats...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVQrF6noAOQ Notice how he uses ALL of his fingers while he is playing..so effortlessly...and not a single mistake. If you want a wide range of terrific playing, and aren't a fan of country music, I recommend any of Brent's many solo albums. "The Master of the Telecaster" is a label that isn't easily given out, but he is surely in the running...
