Can't believe no one has mentioned Robbie Turner. All over the latest Chris Stapleton/jason Isbell/Sturgill Simpson rekkds

He is over 50

But I think 50 is the new 30 in the world of steel guitar (that's my story and I'm sticking to it)

I just read your original post again. RT has been around for years and is a pretty major guy, not a new. Sorta flies under the radar a leetle bit, though. Started young. Born the same year ('62) but got started about 30 years before me!

I really enjoy Ken Champion's playing on the Smog album 'Red Apple Falls'. Anyone that likes Leonard Cohen will dig it.

I also really like the steel playing by Farmer Dave Scher on the Beachwood Sparks albums. It is very psychedelic sounding stuff.

Adam Goodale is a youngster (27 y/o) from central TX, currently playing with Rance Norton and Jason Allen. Previous stint with Jody Nix....he does TX dancehall music quite well.

One of the big reasons I bought a steel!

The second song has two steel tracks harmonizing with each other.

I really dig Steelism for non-traditional steel work and of course there's always Maggie Bjorklund. She's next level non-traditional.

Eddy Dunlap, Brett Robinson, Austin Stewart the list goes on.The younger guys, I think, are gigging and making money.

Lots of new talent out there.....rarely see them at a steel show though.

If you want to hear innovation....Lloyd Green is still squeezing the sponge on new ideas.
