I dunno what the song is called - but John Laws in Sydney has been playing it for the last coupla days. Not a bad song, but it features prominent Pedal Steel throughout which sounds great.
Wonder who is playing it.......

Could it be long time band member John Jorgensen?
Just a guess.

What's the name of the song?

I think It's `Turn the lights down when you leave.`
Cheers, Arch.

Back in the 1970's one of Elton John's songs featured the pedal steel. As I recall, the song was "Country Comfort".

Anyone know who played on 'Country Comfort?

"Tiny Dancer" was an Elton John hit in the '70s with beautiful pedal steel. It's one of the reasons I took up the instrument. I heard what it could do on something that was not country or even country rock (not that there is anything wrong with steel on those genres, I love them too).
