Steel playing songwriters - 2 of my songs

Matt Dawson · From: Luxembourg, Europe

There was a thread about steel players who write songs...well as I consider myself a songwriter who plays (simple) steel, so I thought I'd post a couple of my songs from my new (country ) CD I'm working on.

'You Keep the Schubert' is a divorce song (with sixteen bars of Schubert in the middle - any comparison to David Lindlay on 'Stay' will be taken as a compliment

My wife Rhonda on fiddle. http://www.dawson.lu/schubert.mp3

'Joseph the Tinker' has real euphonium , picolo, trumpet, and trombone doing the brass band impression. I hope no-one takes offense at my use of insulting terms for Jewish, Irish & gypsy folk- the song is deeply ANTI racist. http://www.dawson.lu/joseph.mp3

I'm singing & playing steel, lap, guitar & bass.That's Mike Bell from Albert Lee's european road band on piano & Claudine Muno(who's band I'm in) on 2nd voice.
Cheers
Matt

Really nice music, Mike. Very sweet pedal steel.

Very bittersweet topics.

Thanks for the nice comments. I write happy songs too! They're not all miserable
