Who's the steel player w/ Tina Turner?

Post by Jon Light »

I expected a quick forum search to answer the question. Can't find it.
I've got a strong hunch but I'd rather have an informed answer.
Can't believe I've never known of this album.

Whoa. Thank you. I was going to say Sneaky Pete (with difficulty ... a lot that did not sound like him but it still seemed like a good guess.)
Cool.

Ha! Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tina_Turns_the_Country_On! says J. D. Minnis – steel guitar. :)

That's legal, far as I know. Somebody better tell JayDee before he signs another check wrong.

A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first.

She (or her producer) picked the right guy.

Cool like Lemon Pie Baby!

Love Tina and Love J.D. both are Great! Thanks for sharing.

Isn't this a Bob Dylan song? Seems like I heard Dylan doing this on his Nashville Skyline L.P. years ago.
