After moving to L.A. he began singing in a few bluegrass bands and then he went to Richard Bennett for a few guitar lessons. Bennett, who had been Neil Diamond's guitarist since 1971, was asked by Silvers to act as co-producer for his album and he finally agreed to give it a try. Although neither Silvers nor Bennett claimed to know what they were doing in the studio, the album is nonetheless an unsung classic. Silvers performs in a style which is a composite of bluegrass, rockabilly, hillbilly, and honky-tonk. He wrote wonderful songs and chose great tunes by other writers.
Silvers is the type of performer who brings a smile to the listener's face from the word go.
However, most of his material is amusing in one form or another. A year after the first album, and fully aware that no major label would be interested, Bennett and Silvers recorded again in Ronnie Weiser's garage. Many of the musicians were the same but there were a few changes, such as Ray Campi on slap bass. Silvers claims he despises some of the material he recorded, but quite frankly, it still stands up. The fact that Silvers only recorded 25 songs is a sad reflection on the country music industry.
