New CD release “Rusty Blake - Lowering the Barâ€
As a perennial sideman I’m not quite sure what got into me, but I’ve gone and recorded an instrumental steel album. Twelve tracks, nine originals, all featuring the stellar lead guitar work of Ian Miller. Stylistically it’s pretty old school, both straight and pedal steel, lots of twin guitar stuff. If that sounds appealing, please give it a listen. Hope you like it!

Should also be available on Apple Music, Spotify, etc. Or if you’d like a CD by mail, just send me a PM or email. Thanks!

Thanks, guys! Appreciate you taking the time to check it out.
John, you asked about the gear. I used three different guitars: Sho-Bud Permanent, Bigsby T-8, Rickenbacker DW-16, and two amps: Deluxe Reverb and a tweed Pro clone. As for the recording process, I can tell you very little. Matt Buetow (singer, songwriter, steel player, engineer, and all around lifesaver for a Luddite like myself) recorded the steel and guitar tracks in my living room and also mixed the record. If it sounds good, it’s thanks to him. Perhaps he will see this and chime in.
Dave, I really could never say enough about how much I love Ian Miller. Playing with him has been one of the great joys of my life. And he’s been getting after the steel, too, so everybody watch out!
Thanks again for the kind words, y’all.
