"King of the Road: A Tribute to Roger Miller"... Of the 37 tracks, many seem to be dripping with a lot of good ol' fashioned classic steel... A lot of good takes on these old faves. https://www.amazon.com/King-Road-Tribute-Roger-Miller/dp/B07FMP5GJH/ref=sr_1_1_twi_mus_2?ie=UTF8&qid=153...

Yep, see!!! So far, at least every night and all night, I keep discovering great new honky tonkers I've never heard before... a fantastic resource for hot steelin's!

Man, I've found the greatest online country music station. It's the real deal. Practically every song is dripping with awesome steel. All the great country artists from past and present. I'm constantly discovering new artists I wasn't familiar with, as well as rediscovering familiar ones. I leave th...

I would imagine the best is unquestionably the Fractal Axe-Fx. I know I've never looked back since I got mine.

Hey now... God, I love that good ol' twangin' uptempo stuff. That's some of the best durn steelin' I've heard in quite some time. Another awesome song for me to learn -- yahooo!

OK, that is like... great! I thoroughly enjoyed that. So far all the segments look like the real steel deal.

I was trying to think of the best Tommy Detamore solo on Doug Sahm's "The Return of Wayne Douglas", then I realized that practically every track just had me goin' "OHHH YEAHHHHH!!!" Those rides just burn in my brain with their unbelievable steelness.

I'm wondering. That info would be shweet!

Great episode of On Point with Vince and Paul, talking about their "A Tribute To Bakersfield" album, the various forms of country music and steel guitar, and also performing two of those songs live on air. It's quite an engaging 48 minutes for all us steelers. http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/...

I myself recently ordered a Li'l Izzy from Craig, because even though I was quite happy with my tone, I figured what the heck... the concept of plugging it in right at the jack, before anything else, was very intriguing. After a few days with it now (and some minor adjustments to my equipment settin...

And I believe that this is a change Herby Wallace swore by. It seems to be prominently featured in a lot of his tab courses.

Wow, I didn't even know about that. I LOVE his awesome Zum tone, and have just ordered my copy. http://garycartersteelguitar.com/

I've found that I have no problem pivoting my foot just enough to cover all three pedals, then working the mid part of my foot on or off just the C pedal. It didn't come naturally at first, but now feels as comfortable as any of the other moves. It does come in quite handy, and would seem to do the ...

I'm gonna say... Junior Knight, Rick Price, Steve Hinson and Tommy Detamore (and Buddy and Lloyd). THAT'S what I want to sound like when I grow up. Deep, deep into the twang.

All these "'special concert" shows that Trucountry have been running recently have been very cool... the same steel player, Ron Stafford, with his Rains (just like what I got). Man, I've been seriously digging watching (hearing) him go to town.

Awesome! I'm always looking for good online steelin', and this sounds another great resource. Thanks!

My Rains.. Why? Because it's got that indefinable something, that perfect tone that I hear in all my favorite steel rides and makes me want to keep getting better. Plus it plays like a dream and looks cool as hell.

I just now came across this post, and wanted to thank you for the above link. I'm really lovin' it! Definitely a great alternative, maybe even better.

OMIGOD, Junior Knight with Jody Hix??!! Man, that's gold! Yessirree, this third season's starting to look mighty fine indeed.

Tommy's fast becoming my personal lord and savior... well, my new favorite steel hero, anyway. I've started learning his steel parts on "The Return Of Wayne Douglas" and decided it basically just doesn't get any better.

I was wondering the same thing, and I've found a truly awesome sight. Some of the stations require a subscription ($40.00 every six months, or a couple of other plans) but I've found the sheer content quite amazing, that is, if you're specifically into the country. You need to go to the country genr...

Thank God! They're one of the few great conduits of "true" country music in this no-real-country town o' mine. Great news! And I hear they're gonna have some new artists that havn't been on there yet...like, some really good'uns.

Bravo, Dennis!!! You can go to http://steelradio.com/ and use the Paypal link they have there, or if you can't do that, you could send a check to the address listed beneath it. Awesome, guys, let's get this ball rolling!

OK, money sent. Even if it winds up not working out in the end, it'll still be for all the years of great steel guitar music I've enjoyed and discovered via this immeasurably valuable resource.

OK, I just now saw this. You're goddam right I'm in, I'm gonna send it right now!
