Lost Highway Saloon Album - Johnny Bush info?

Just discovered this awesome album. It lists som guy named Buddy Emmons (ever heard of him ? - LOL), Tommy Detamore, Herb Steiner, and Bobby Flores as steel players. I can pretty much pick out the songs Buddy is on. What songs did the others play on?

And who is the female vocalist on "The Wall"? I would like to hear more of her.

That's Leona Williams singing with Johnny on "The Wall".

Thanks Ricky. I kind of thought it might be her. Been years since I heard her.

Yes, nobody can sing like Leona and nobody can play pedal steel like Dicky...Here they are together right after I put this Sho~Bud first year LDG together for Dicky and he played on many Leona albums.

Wow, Leona is a Missouri treasure and I have seen her dozens of times at many steel shows. Her son Ron Williams is just as awesome of a singer. And Dicky is a phenomenal choice for her recordings. What a combination of country music royalty. Thanks Richard and Ricky for bringing this to light.

I don't remember if 'When it's your turn to fall' is on that record, but Bobby Flores played steel on that song. Bobby was a great guy and musician.

Funny, I talked with Johnny about steel players and he always complained about Dicky's playing, his primary criticism was it was too loud. he said I can turn down the volume on a record but not when you are listening to him playing.

Wonder if Dickey was playing barefoot? Awesome tone and so much emotion.

Yes Me and Dicky always played in our socks.

When I got the waffle pedals from you for my Bud, you told me that now I could play in my stocking feet, just like you and Dickey.
So, I keep trying it barefoot, but I don't sound anything like you or Dickey!

I think we got a little sidetracked.
