Wichita Lineman. Ray Charles with Buddy Emmons.

Interesting cover of this song. For my money Glen Cambell's rendition can never be bettered. On this Ray Charles version Buddy Emmons takes a steel break.

Jim Lauderdale / Emmy Lou Harris "The King of Broken Hearts"

A mighty fine rendition of this song with Mr Lauderdale and beautiful Emmy Lou. A great steel break with Al Perkins on a ZB steel.

With many years of experience behind him and weathering the ups and downs of the so called music business he can look as serious as he wants. And anyway who cares if he is a fun guy or not ?.

Ariel. I don't know if we ever met. Possibly the St. Louis Steel Convention in 2009? I have not been to the convention since then. Good luck for the soccer final even though my wife is German and I'll be cheering them on.

You got to love those Carter guitars. Best steel around for the price. I think you will sell it "in the wink of an eye" if you post a picture.

I think who ever posted the song on you tube got it all wrong. That is not Bonnie Raitt. She's a truly versatile singer but somehow it's not her kind of material.I could stand corrected , but.... the only gal i know of who covered that song was the wonderfully talented late great Canadian Colleen Pe...

The steel player on the recording I believe was Ed Black. There is a live TV version from the 70's posted on You Tube and the steel player is most certainly Buddy Emmons.
