Wouldn't you love to put Beethoven, with all his diverse talents, in front of a pedal steel and see what came out ?
And him, stone cold deaf too... NO thanks!
Mike is one of a kind, he and Easley are like, the time-warp mutants this instrument so desperately needs. I love this CD, finally some new steel to listen to!
I just got back from a 4 day run of road gigs and I got my copy of "Spanish Steel" right before we left. We spent the whole trip listening to the CD. I'd like to take this opportunity to nominate this CD for a Grammy for the Most Coolest Awesome Record to Come Out in a Long Time. Buy one for yourself. Buy one for your friends. You most definitely won't be sorry.
I just can't believe it Charles. My steel has never learned to play in English yet. Maybe I will just take up the kazoo or something. I am certainly not cutout for this group.
Seriously, I may have to get a copy, as I just love Spanish music.
Got one from Mike at the show. A remarkable labor of love and musicianship. Not only is Mike one of the most knowlegable players I have met, but he is also blessed with the best first name in the universe.
