Robert James Waller and his song Idaho Rain

Post by Bill Fay »

I would like to know who played steel on this song. On You Tube I saw where he said he used a band from New York to make his record: The Ballads of Madison County, on the Atlantic record label.

I tried to find a site where I could print a copy of Idaho Rain instead of hand writing it.

Can anyone help me on these items?

Thanks, Bill Fay up in the "frozen north" Nova Scotia that is!

Arif Mardin can be seen along with some of the musicians in the studio at around 2:50. There's also a steel player shown later...
Fender Kingman, Sierra Crown D-10, Evans Amplifier, Soup Cube.
