I think that this break by Bob Pauole is the sweetest steel break I have ever heard! Played in 1933, on a National Tricone, his fluency and control are supreme, but always in the service of the music, not just flashy. I marvel every time I hear this.

What break turns you on? Post a title, preferably with a Youtube video or audio file of some sort. (Picosong is very easy to use)

My favorite may be this one:

Perhaps because I spent so many years on that big, beautiful lake. It's a crime that Jim and Bob made so few recordings.

Hard to choose one but Doug Jernigan - Cherokee is up there as he not only raised the bar from Emmon's version but raised the bar on choice of voicings, articulation, cleanliness and speed plus loads of taste.

Love the dissonance choices he uses.

Song starts at 10:18

That is a sublime version of Home on the Range
I love the playing on that CD
