Jerry Kennedy’s guitar and dobro were defining elements of ’60s and ’70s country. As one of Nashville’s go-to session men, he’s heard on tons of country classics—none more iconic than Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man,” with his deep, twanging guitar intro. His dobro’s just as distinctive, and his peerless picking adds sass to Jeannie C. Riley’s smash “Harper Valley P.T.A.” and Tom T. Hall hits like the rollicking “A Week In a Country Jail.”
