Who's the steeler on the MSA here?

Came across a YouTube link to a nice song, just vocals/guitar and steel. I had seen this clip a year or 3 back and thought I posted it but can't seem to find it if I did.

Zachary Lucky, "Ramblin' Man's Lament"

From what I find with a web search, it is Ian Cameron.

Thank you Lee!

To me there's something haunting about the song, and it shows you don't always need a 5 or 6 piece band to make good music.

Mr. Lucky has other songs on You Tube that has a steeler with beard and 2 big rings on right hand. Playing a reddish orange colored Williams steel that does a great job.
I have watched several of his videos. With just an upright bass, guitar and on a couple songs the bass player playing the drum creation attached to the bass. No lead guitar trying to add hot licks all over the steel would be a down right pleasure.

That would most likely be Mitch Jay.

Before country, I was into rock. And before rock, I was into Folk. I was intrigued by what was accomplished with just the two of them.

Same singer, a bass, and still another steeler, this one on a Bud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49JS6jb ... adio=1&t=3

Nice!

another great performance.The smaller group of musicians lets the music breathe.

lovely music,,, Makes
""modern country"" look and like the inane crap we all know it is.
These songs are spare, soulful, haunting, full of heart and emotion, the way country music should be.

As stated earlier, no tele blasting you in the back of the head, brings out the raw emotion, and etherial quality of the steel... I like the steel playing itself as well.. Basic, not overly technical, and fits the songs...very nice
