Over the past several decades you would have heard Louie Shelton's riffs and solos on many hits by artists such as;

THE MONKEES Last Train To Clarksville, THE JACKSON

FIVE: I Want You Back, LIONEL RICHIE; Hello, THE CARPENTERS; We’ve Only Just Begun & Close To You, NEIL DIAMOND; Cracklin’ Rose, Play Me and I Am I Said, BOZ SCAGGS; Low Down plus albums with BARBRA STREISAND, JOE COCKER, THE MAMAS & PAPAS, MARVIN GAYE, JOHN LENNON, DIANA ROSS
and many others.

For the past 50 years Louie has played on more hit records than any other guitarist in history.

He was also a member of the famous WRECKING CREW; a group of studio musicians who played on most of the hits from the early sixty’s, seventy’s and eighty’s.

He accompanied good friend Glen Campbell for two years on his hit TV show the Glen Campbell Good-Time Hour while at the same time was lead guitar player on other TV shows such

as the Partridge Family, the Monkees and all their records.

As a producer Louie produced the many hits of SEALS & CROFTS such as Summer Breeze and Diamond Girl. He also produced the Art Garfunkel albums and many other artists.

Today, Louie and his family have taken up residency in Australia, on the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland, where he and his wife, Donnie, share their passion for golf and life in general.

He is still going strong musically. He has a recording studio in his home and has worked with some of Australia’s most successful rock bands including Noiseworks. Over the years Louie has continued to produce several bands, including Southern Sons, Mother Hubbard, The Wolverines and Bleu Tongue, and has been involved with such artists as Tommy Emanuel, Rick Price and Human Nature.

Louie Shelton does not intend to slow down any time soon. He joins us this week to share his incredible story.
