Isn't Cortez a DBT fan-person?

Guilty as charged. And what kind of fan-person would you be?

What's number 1?

I appreciate the info. I only own the digital version of A.M., and therefore had no clue Lloyd contributed to that album. I own the actual physical CD of Anodyne and not knowing/remembering Maines was on there is just plain foolish on my part.

Plus he may be considered an honorary Wilcoite

Educate this ignorant Wilco "fan" please.

Are they your favorites?

 

I dig Robert Randolph, and Lloyd Maines. Interesting the difference in approach and style.

I'd say they're my favorites. Keith's work on countless Neil albums is so underrated. He brings Harvest Moon to another level with his pedal steel. I also think Brighter Than Creation's Dark is not 1/2 the album it is without Neff's gorgeous, atmospheric pedal steel. He's also awesome on Decoration Day ("My Sweet Annette" benefits tremendously from his subtle touches) and makes The Star Room Boys go. Lloyd Maines is pretty good too. He does an excellent job as part of The Lost Gonzo Band.

A couple that I haven't seen posted yet - Mick Taylor and Jason Isbell. Two pedal steel guitarists that deserve some props are Ben Keith and John Neff.

2nd favorite release of 2008 so far.

What's that?

Sun Kil Moon April

I didn't know you were a musician! Awesome.

Drive-By Truckers Live in Studio on WYEP Pittsburg

I only know the GG Allin version, which is surprisingly touching.

Did he throw a big steamy pile of poop after he finished it?

"Tonight The Sky" riff = Ohio by Neil Young

Haven't heard it yet, but Paste called it "Ohio" meets "Like a Hurricane." Sounds pretty tasty to me.

Heading to the imaginary swamps in my mind.

Speaking of Minny Soda.

Rocky Raccoon's hometown.
