No Bent, I think it's from a live album. I no longer have a copy. I lost it in the house fire in 2006.

I swear to you that Garcia was my first thought when I saw this thread. I went with Bobby Black on I Took Three Bennies and My Semi Truck Won't Start as a close second. Plus I didn't want to be liable for the usual... BB is still my favorite really.

When you enter the web site, you will hear his rendition of "Healing Hands of Time." Nice clean playing, and very nice tone.

For me there are too many to choose from. But one of my favorites is "just the two of us". Played by Mike Headrick on his Up To The Gills Cd. I love the tone and Mike just knows how to pick.

Super tone from the Big "E"
Buddy Emmons playing Wichita Lineman/Suite Steel/Volcanic Action of my Soul.
It would appear that the idea of choosing "Wichita Lineman" on the the Suite Steel Album was from the work Buddy did first on the Ray Charles album "Volcanic Action of my soul" - http://www.rhapsody.com/ray-charles/vol ... of-my-soul. Couple other songs on the same RC album have great Emmons parts.
I learned about the Ray Charles album Dec.16,1976
when I went to look at a Fender Twin w/JBL120s.that was advertised in the "Recycler" for $250. I bought that amp and for a brief period took lessons from a great steel player, and a wonderful person-The late Eddie Black- RIP

Dean,Emmons "Wichita Lineman" one of my favs...I have to tell you a short one.Two years ago at the Phoenix convention I walked into the concert hall while Jim Lossburg started his set,Now I had never heard Jim play but was aware of his incredible reputation,I took my seat and he played Wichita lineman and had every nuance of The Emmons recording on Suite Steel...One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard,and very humbling.

Ray Charles' "Volcanic Action Of My Soul" (great title, eh?) has some spectacular playing from Mr. Emmons. And the classic "Blade" tone. I consider it an essential element to anyone's steel guitar music collection. I'm glad to see it's available for download.
The story I read was that Glen Campbell called Buddy and asked if he wanted to come play some Ray Charles tunes. Buddy didn't realize they were actually going to play with Ray himself until they got to the studio.

Some of you have misunderstood this thread.
What song has the tone you would want to emulate.
There are a lot of songs I like better than the one I mentioned but the tone in that one song is awesome. And quite honestly I have found that tone with my new Ritt. I have recorded my Ritt and played the steel break side by side and wow is all I can say. Thanks for all the response on this thread, this is fun.

Great Steel Tone
Hmmm....not sure who played it, but there is a short solo on "White Line Fever" as recorded by Joe Ely himself that has a really sweet tone.
"It Don't Mean A Thing If It Aint' Got That Swing"
