Byrd or Helms?

Post by Steve Green »

Anyone know who's playing steel on this video clip of Hank Sr. and Anita Carter? Sure does sound good. Compliments the singing instead of being overpowering.

I love this video. The clip is also on the Hank Williams documentary "Honkey Tonk Blues" which is well worth watching if you havent already seen it. Love their harmonies--beautiful.

It's a though one... but still, I don't hear the intricacy of JB's playing as much as I would expect to if it was him, so, I'd place my bet on DH too.

... J-D.
