Though Finney may have been best known for his work with such country artists as the Chicks, Vince Gill, the Judds, Reba McEntire, and Patty Loveless, his talent was not limited to artists only associated with that genre.
Late Monkees member Michael Nesmith enlisted Finney for his solo work with his country-flavored solo project the First National Band and later brought him along on his final tour with the Monkees in 2017. Finney also played on Micky Dolenz’s 2021 tribute album to his late bandmate, Dolenz Sings Nesmith.
“He exemplified how top instrumentalists can adapt to a range of styles and settings, whether in a recording studio, a concert stage, or the corner of a small nightclub,” noted the Country Music Hall of Fame’s post, announcing Finney’s passing.
Aside from his work as a musician, Finney also had deep knowledge of American music history, which he shared with the public when he served as the co-curator of the “Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City” exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The exhibit explored the period in the 1960s and 1970s when non-country musicians visited Nashville to work with the city’s ace studio musicians. Finney co-wrote the book on the exhibit which won him the Chet Flippo Award for excellence in country music journalism from the International Country Music Conference.
“I’ve known and worked with Pete for many years. What a terrible loss. ?,” wrote country singer Mandy Barnett.
“A gut punch to the scene, one of the nicest guys you could ever meet,” singer Jonah Kraut added.
