Anyone remember Cinderella Studio in Nashville???
JWelsh3374
at Cinderella in Nashville. Anyone remeber this place? That record sounds great
and was a very groovy "pre-Fly Like An Eagle" Steve Miller Band album! Very
country-ish meets hippy-dippy peace and love and rockin' blues....One of the
records that got me through high school. It was the Longine Symphonette Record
club selection of the month....also got my first taste of the "brown" Band
album through that club...and a very groovy pull apart stereo as well.

owned by a Nashville studio musician (I think it was Wayne Moss). They recorded
albums under the name "Barefoot Jerry" and before that "Area Code 615". Very hip
stuff, a cross between country and rock. Most records were released on Monument
label. Area Code 615 may have been on Capitol. I believe the studio was 16 track
and the console was a Flickinger.

THE top Nashville session guitarist in the '60s. At the absolute peak of
Wayne's career he decided he didn't want to be a session player anymore. In
all my years in the business Wayne is the only player I know who took
himself out of the game. Wayne did a lot of recording and even played on
some mainstream country records after his "retirement" but he would only
work at Cinderella.
Cinderella is a garage studio in Wayne's home. The name came from the
street Wayne lives on. Wayne was in a group called Area Code 615, the area
code for Nashville, which included top Nashville studio players such as
Buddy Spicher on fiddle, Kenny Butrey on drums, Weldon Myrick on steel,
Bobby Thompson on banjo, Charlie McCoy on harminica and other instruments,
and a few more players that I can't recall at the moment.
Wayne Moss was an innovator and a great guitar player. He played a guitar
solo on Waylon Jennings' "Only Daddy That'll Wake The Line" that is still
revered by Nashville's current crop of guitar players. Wayne and Area Code
615 were on the cutting edge of "country meets hippy pop" and no doubt
offered inpiration to the pop-country trend that followed.
When Wayne left the daily grind of the Music Row studios in favor of his own
home studio he was a real pioneer. Today there are home studios on every
residential block in Nashville. When Wayne made that move around 1970 it
was something no one else had done, at least not in the way that Wayne did
it.
Wayne Moss and Cinderella are still going strong. I worked on a CD for a
Japanese artist a year or so back that was cut at Cinderella. Later, I did
overdubs and mixed at another studio.
When I first met Wayne, he was the guitar player for Charley McCoy and The
Escorts, a pop band that played high school dances, etc. They were the top
band in Nashville and most of the members went on to great recording
careers. After all these years, Wayne is still doing a live band. I just
spoke to someone last week who is playing in the band. He obviously loves
what he is doing.
