I decided to produce an album with our local angel-voiced lady Ilona Aasvere. I added some pedal-steel on most of the songs of course:) We recorded live at my home, I added pedal steel later as I play here accoustic guitar as well.

We have also done Estonian version of WPA's song 'The Price' . I'm not as good as Greg Leisz, but I did my best. Ok, let's say it's a bit different:)

Good thing in producing and arranging your stuff yourself is that nobody says how much pedal-steel there should be in an arrangement:) or how loud (or quiet) it should be. At first I played a bunch of licks and then cut half of them off when realized that better to be a part of a whole thing, not to dominate.

Very nice song and arrangement!
Wish I could understand the lyrics

Great work, very nice sound. She has such a tender voice, and your steel work complements it nicely. Was everything recorded "live," or did you do overdubs?

Thank You for the kind words! This lady is our 'Allison Krauss', she was quite famous here 20+ years ago, no I try to help her 'come back'.
Song is about a problem that people are too 'stoned' (closed to new ideas), we should be more open minded and not to afraid to do smth different:)
Everything but the pedal-steel fills + mandolin solo was recorded 'live'
