Does anyone know who the steel player was for 'A New Love' - Wynn Stewart?

Yes it was Ralph Mooney. Ralph used to brag and say:"Wynn Stewart is my Singer".....

Allmusic lists Stu Basore, Junior Boyer and Jimmy Collins, Sonny Garrish & Lloyd Green but I think they have this album mixed up with a couple of others.

Yes; but the answers I know are right from Mooney who lived just up the street from me when I lived in Mansfield, Tx for 5 years with my first Wife early 90's. He was so incredible with his memory of all the cool old Wynn Stewart stuff and early Buck; as he knew Tom Brumley was my first Teacher and he loved telling me story's Tom didn't know...ha...
But the things Ralph didn't tell me about some later years; I found those stories out from James Burton, who I played on a couple records with James and he told me some Ralph and Waylon stuff nobody knows....so there ya go; from the MAN's mouth is the only way you can truly know the Truth.

Definitly Moon. This is one of the records that turned me into a Mooney freak. Listen to his command of the "Pick Me Up On Your Way down" lick. He makes it his own on this recording.
