Caleb Klauder with Russ Blake
Got to do two double bill shows this last week with Caleb in Seattle and Portland. Russ Blake is a joy to listen to on steel or guitar. Big fun hanging with these folks.

Roger, Caleb has a few CDs with his country band and his bluegrass band Foghorn Stringband. His web site is www.calebklauder.com
He writes songs that have a real early 50's country feel to them and does some covers of old country as well.
Russ has several steels including a replica of a D8 Bigsby that he built that he calls a Blakeby.
This past week the shows we did with Caleb he had a home built D8 with pedals on only one neck.
The Fender in this video he rebuilt with more modern cross shafts, bell cranks and knee levers so it has 8 pedals and 4 knees. He sounds great on anything he plays as well as a ripping hot 6 stringer.

I had the albums "Dangerous me and Poisonous Me" and "Western Country" albums and they were fantastic. Russ that is fantasic playing, so tasteful. I think it was Paul Brainard who played on those earlier records. I'm just about to start back doing some 6th playing myself, and cant wait to dig in. Any chance of doing another record like this?

David,
Yes, Paul played steel and lead guitar on those records. Great player! We are working on a new record now, and I doubt it will have anything like "It's All Your Fault". As you know that's not really representative of Caleb's style, but just a tune that he likes to throw in once in a while.
For anyone else who is interested, this is more typical of Caleb's sound and style:
