Guess I have to go with Lay Lady Lay by Bob Dylan (the late Pete Drake playing the steel)Oh, and One By One by Wilco with Billy Bragg and Why Not Your Baby by Velvet Crush (cover of a Gene Clark song) Edited June 11, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Jinx! ! I'm less surprised by the fact that we thought of the same tune at the same time than that I was able to hit "Add Post" before him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Jinx! ! I'm less surprised by the fact that we thought of the same tune at the same time than that I was able to hit "Add Post" before him . I was delayed by looking up the exact spelling of the guy who played the solo. Dr_Evil_Mouse's post was entered first, but mine had more information. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

TheGoodRev Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 You could make an entire mix of Neil Young tunes featuring Ben Keith on the steel and you'd be covering most of my favourite steel lines - Albuquerque, See the Sky About to Rain, etc. The Ryan Adams record Jacksonville City Nights is riddled with heart-wrenching steel and the song Hard Way to Fall boasts one of my absolute favourite steel lines ever recorded, even though it's so simple. It's the line under the lyric, "That she doesn't have to worry, and it'll be alright." Take it from a real-life steel player - it's a heavy tune.

Rob Not Bob Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I love a version from a comp of Neil Young & The International Harvesters of Down By The River ... Ben Keith's pedal steel is gorgeous on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
