CortezTheKiller Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted Acres Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I threw down several old-time lap steel players on my list: Joaquim Murphy, Speedy West, Leon McAuliffe, Sol Hoopii... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Educate this ignorant Wilco "fan" please. Lloyd Maines added steel guitar to several tracks on A.M. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Educate this ignorant Wilco "fan" please. AnodyneA.M. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 AnodyneA.M. I note that wikipedia states that "Brian Henneman had to leave the band shortly after recording the album". I was under the impression that Brian was never an official member of Wilco. Is this more of wikifogginess or am I mistaken. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I'm not gonna go back and search, but Clarence White! Garcia is on record as saying CW was one of his heroes. The Byrds Live Fillmore (Feb. '69) or Untitled is a major showcase for his electric virtuosity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think that they made my original list, but they are both pretty amazing and probably should have made my list.Listen to "Another Nail For My Heart" or "Best Friend's Girl".
