Carl Smith recorded some great LPs in the 60's on Columbia ("Man With A Plan", "Faded Love And Winter Roses", "Deep Water"). Obviously he used two Steel Players on these recordings, one Pedal and one Non-Pedal Steel.
Does anybody know who played on these recordings? The Non-Pedal Steel is played in Roy Wiggins style. Was it still Johnny Siebert?
Thanks, Walter

| Carl Smith did a TV show in Canada in the 60's and Johnny Seibert played with him on those shows, so he was probably on the non- pedal tunes. He had a distinct sound, somewhat like Little Roy Wiggins but with some added touches, and Carl continued to use him even after everyone else had gone with pedal steels. |

The above posters are correct. Johnny Siebert and Roy Wiggins both trilled (ting-a-ling) often while playing. The difference betwee the two was; Little Roy's was more mellow which matched Eddy Arnold's voice like a perfect fitting leather glove. Johnny's trilling was much more trebly and fit Carl Smith's voice even better.
The Lord doth lead us where we belong, IF we let him.

I bought a cassete off the 99cent rack awhile back of Carl Smith with some knocked out E9 steel on it and it does'nt sound like Chalker to me,but what do I know,I heard a Vince Gill song that I thought J Hughey did a fantastic job only to learn it was P Franklin. I never heard a steel player that I did'nt like(well, maybe not never)
Also read/heard that Sibert played an Emmons for awhile,maybe coulda been him???
Maybe Smiley would know

Yes Johnny did play an Emmons. He told me he still has it in the case under the bed but never plays any more. Said he hasn't played since about 1982 or 83.
