It was an attempt "to revive country sales, which had been devastated by the rise of rock 'n' roll". Danny Davis was an American country music band leader, trumpet player, vocalist and producer, best known as the founder and leader of the Nashville Brass. Launching the Nashville Brass: One evening Davis was in the presence of his employer, Chet Atkins, and Davis told Atkins of his idea of recording country songs with brass instruments. Davis set out to work on a demo. He chose Nashville arranger and fellow trumpeter, Bill McElhiney, to help create the sound of the Nashville Brass. The basic idea was to replace the vocalist with a brass ensemble (two to three trumpets, two trombones) playing over a standard country rhythm section (guitar, bass, drums, banjo). For his recordings, Davis assembled a rhythm section of Nashville's "A" list musicians: Grady Martin (guitar), Floyd Cramer (piano), Bob Moore (bass), Buddy Harmon (drums), Bobby Thompson (banjo), John Hartford (banjo). When completed, Atkins hand carried the demo of Hank Williams' "I Saw The Light", to a meeting of RCA executives in California. In October 1968 the first album, The Nashville Brass Play The Nashville Sound, was released Following with their second album; The Nashville Brass, featuring Danny Davis, Play More Nashville Sounds, in 1969.
