Bands like Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo and Wilco were at the forefront of the "alt country" wave in the 1990's. Much of their music featured pedal steel and yes, it did inspire many young players to take up the instrument.

I confess I'm not familiar with "alt-country", butI find it more interesting that "jazz and blues" are said to be areas where pedal steel is "coveted by modern musicians".Randy D Ellen wrote:I find it interesting that "alternative country" supposedly brought the pedal steel a wider audience.
Not saying that PSG doesn't fit in those genres, and of course we here know of pedal steel players who do play in those genres, but if the general world of self-identified jazz or blues musicians are hungry for pedal steel, I'm unaware of it till now.

It's a bit odd to include that strings are played by plucking them "or vibrating them with a mechanical device". True, steel can be played with an E-bow, and has been, but that's like including in a general description of the electric guitar that it's plucked "or played with a bow" because Jimmy Page did that sometimes.

interesting?
two things i noticed that got my attention was the part about shot jackson being responsible for the pedals and zane beck the knee levers. also the part about playing earlier versions with a knife or bottle....thanks jack
The sound is the most distinctive feature of a PSG.
I get that "so thats a slide guitar" question all the time on jobs. I just have to laugh. But it beats the "your the piano player" thing anyhow. I do think, however, the most "distinctive feature" of a pedal steel is the sound, rather than the mechanics (the pedals and knee levers) that help to produce it. Many people unfamiliar with a PSG recognize it only after hearing it rather than just seeing it set up. imho.

This kinda stuck out to me:
I believe that's one of the first techniques that you "unlearn."A prominent technique is to eliminate the attack of the string. The player plucks a string with the volume pedal in the off position, then quickly rocks the pedal forward to create a smooth violin-like sound.

Jory,
Is this it?
"vibrating them with a mechanical device."
That's a new one to me. I've never seen anyone vibrate the strings with a mechanical device. Perhaps and Ebow once in a great while, but that's an electrical device.

Seems like a pretty extensive article, for having only three references. (From 2 consecutive pages of the same book.)
But whoever's in charge wanted "additional citations for verification." Kinda surprising that no one has chimed in with more, over a year-and-a-half later.
SGF made it into the external links.
