Great work, Drew. Really outstanding non pedal playing.

Some really nice playing, Drew. Great advertisement for Fender Dual Professionals. They are great guitars. So you're using an A6 on your rear neck, C13 on your front?

I like Delilah, too.

Thanks, guys. I had some tuning problems but most of the tunes came out good. Neer is almost right! A6 on the back and E13 on the front.

It's like an Austin City Limits taping, lots of lights, camera, crowd, action, right in my own backyard. Two-day taping. They cut it all together and mastered the sound. Excellent job I must say.

John, The Sequins or any of your bands should get in on this. Contact Tim Zeko @ WKAR or on Facebook.

Great band all the way around, and excellent steel playing!
I have to say that I have never seen a female singer capture the Johnny Cash vibe as well as Delilah. She is a great singer!

Great band! Everything is top-notch. Drew, your playing is perfect. And I love Delilah's vocals!

That's quite a pedalboard underneath your steel. What effects are you using?

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, at the 53minute mark "Machine Head" started up! Some great playing and tones on that one. What did you use for the tape delay sounds? El Capistan perhaps?

If you're talking about the theremin, I think the guitarist used a Maxon delay. I used an MXR Carbon Copy delay, BBE Soulvibe, and Fulltone OCD dirtbox for the steel.

Outstanding. Liked it so much I bought the "HonkyTonk Heart" release from CDBaby.
Good stuff.

+1 Smile

I do miss hearing a good acoustic sock rhythm guitarist in the mix though...

Really diggin' the sound on the second song. Both the steel, and the Esquire. The real, real Fender sound....

Really enjoy the tasty up-front steel playing in a small combo. Thanks for posting this.

Nice pickin' Drew, I love the retro sound with the steel right out front where it should be! Great job.
