Cowboy Jack Clement & RCA Studio B
Pat Boone, Cowboy, and Chet Atkins Jack Clement Newsletter December Question: Ron from Nashville, TN asked: Do you have any favorite stories, memories, or interesting notes associated with RCA Studio B from the recordings you produced there? I have a lot of memories of working and playing in RCA Studio B. The first time I recorded there I was working at Sun Records in Memphis. That was around 1957. I had not yet learned to love the Sun Studio and I had written a couple of songs that I felt needed a dose of the Nashville Sound. I had always wanted to meet Chet Atkins anyway, so I took my piano player and my favorite guitar and drove to Nashville. We recorded a session in the RCA Studio with one of Chet's bass players. It wasn't known as Studio B then because Studio A was still about 10 years in the future. I moved to Nashville from Beaumont, Texas in January, 1965 and rented 2 offices in the new RCA Studio building which is about 15 feet from the Studio B build
