| i know we all have favorite songs with lots of steel on them but if you had to be stranded on an island with only two albums. which do you take? i like Ricky Skaggs "Highways and Heartaches", and Dwight Yoakam's "tomorrows country sounds today" or whatever the title is. I know theres probably others that may be better but at this time these are two that i've been wearing out in my truck. |

| Easy. "My Pick Of The Hits" by Ernest Tubb, and "Jukebox Charlie" by Johnny Paycheck. These two are a study in "smooth and sweet" featuring Buddy Charleton on the Tubb disc, and "raw and in your face" featuring (early) Lloyd Green on the Paycheck album. |

| Well, today it would probably be the Johnny Paycheck album that was cut live at "The New City Cafe" with Jim Murphy on steel. The second one would probably be the "Play Guitar Play" album by Conway with John on it. |

I have a great regard for a number of country records, but if I were to be cast away on a desert island with just two CDs, I don't think either would be a country music album.....

Mel Street's "The Town Where You Live/Walk Softly On The Bridges" and one of the early Paycheck albums like "Jukebox Charlie". If I am allowed for a third, it would be Justin Trevino's "Scene Of The Crying"...Oh, yes, and I should not forget to bring a player! 
Kind Regards, Walter

| Walter, i almost forgot scene of the cryin. great album. Dicky Overby is one of my favorites. I guess 2 won't do. i wouldn't want to be stranded on an island anyhow, it'd be my luck Kenny Chesney would be there to torture me with his albums. |

I don't think I could possibly pick just two, but in contention would be:
the Dwight Yoakam cited above (Tomorrow's Sounds Today)
George Jones' "The Cold Hard Truth"
Mark Chesnutt's "Savin' the Honky Tonks"
Reba McEntire's "Have I Got a Deal for You" (just the first side of the cassette)
George Strait's "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind"
Clint Black's "Killin' Time"
I'm sure there are others I'm just not thinking of right now.
Cheers,

I do lead guitar and steel both so I think my favorite album that features great playing on both instruments would have to be the "Fiddlin' Frenchie Burke & the Outlaws" alblum cut around 1974 which starts off with "Big Mamou". This one features Randy Corner on lead guitar and a then 15 year old Robby Springfield on pedal steel and it's my favorite of all my collection. Frenchie lets the boys stretch out all over the place and the do just that. Lots of great playing on this one! In a Guitar Player magazine interview with the great Albert Lee he was asked if he ever practiced to which he answered "No, I have this album by Fiddlin' Frenchie Burke and the Outlaws which has this great guitar player (Randy Corner) on it and I just put it on the turntable and play along! That says a bunch! JH in Va.

It's all on 12, who needs 20!

Lost Highway Saloon, man what steel and fiddle picking, would be one I would have, I don't leave home without it, and I don't believe I could do without the Priceless, with Bobbe. Did you say how long we were to be stranded ?

| "Lost Highway Saloon" is one of my favorite albums, as a matter of fact, we perform the title cut off the record as much as possible. After that, my next favorite album with a lot of steel would have to be my last album "Shuffle and Sad Songs". The steel player on the record just happens to be my oldest son, Eddie Lange. We had a great time recording it in my basement. My youngest son Harry Lange is playing drums and singing all of the back-up vocals. Fun stuff!! |

| Forgot to mention Moon on the steel on "You Asked Me To" by Waylon is just fantastic! As a matter of fact, we played that tune tonight, unfortunately, without a steel player. But the crowd still appreciated it. |
