Buddy Charleton, who created some of the signature sounds of 1960s country music as a member of Ernest Tubb's Texas Troubadours, died January 25th at his home in Locust Grove, Virginia. Charleton's pedal steel gave voice to Tubbs' misty tears of memory on "Waltz Across Texas" and added hot licks to numerous other Tubbs tunes. He was 72 years old and suffering from lung cancer.
