I think it is using BC pedals. Timing may be a little different then written... This is just an idea.

Thanks a lot Dick Grateful for your time,do you know who the player is?
some really nice playing there by him..Cheers

[Joe Rouse]

Wayne Dahl is the steel player. He's been with Martina for over 15 years and is a great guy and a greater steel player....jr

[Mark Thomas]

Thanks Joe,plays some great stuff very tasteful!!

[Ricky Davis]

Unfortunately Martina now has gone totally rhythm&blues and no longer uses the GREAT Wayne Dahl on steel anymore. Wayne moved here to Austin for a while but has moved his family elsewhere; but we will hear more from him as he is just a wonderful steel player/musician/Person.

I live in Australia..(Melbourne) but i've been told by a friend theres a lot of good country music down in Austin Texas.Never really have posted here,though been a member for awhile but always keep an eye on whats happening here, seems like a nice bunch of players and helpful with tips-there a very few players down this way!!

[David Nugent]

Not surprising to read about Martina's change in musical direction as her vocal style should lend itself much better to the R&B genre, (never really considered her to be a "Country" singer by any sense of the term). Saw her live some time ago and appeared to me that she was more intent on demonstrating her vocal chops (shouting more than actually singing?)than placing any real emotion into the song. Her 'Timeless' C.D. while a step in the right direction musically, to my ears, still featured too few moments of actual heartfelt vocals and for the most part, did little justice to the original recordings (the preceding comments were based on my observations only, yours may vary).
