Ghost of Electricity Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Last week I spun Mark Olson's "My Own Jo Ellen" and Ted Hawkin's "The Next Hundred Years" and was some of the guitar work struck me as similar. So I looked and sure enough, there was the name Greg Leisz credited on both. Yes, the same Greg Leisz who played peda; steel on "Being There." So it got me wondering, I knew I'd seen the same in liner notes before, how much has he actually done? Here are just a few names: Bill Frisell, Emmylou Harris, Dave Alvin, Bon Jovi (hey, nobody's perfect), Beck, Willy Nelson, Louden Wainright III, Matthew Sweet, T-Bone Burnett, k.d. lang...these are just some of the people he recorded with in 2008. check out his full discography. Bet more than one of your favorite records are in there somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 For a while, I thought he was the world's only pedal steel player. Anytime I read the credits of a CD w/ pedal steel, there he was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 He has done great work with Dave Alvin. I do believe he was in the Funky Kings way back when as well. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
