| This song came out in November 1972. Just wondering if anyone knew who played Steel on it. Nick |

| Yes, it was Ben Keith for sure because he's Neil's steel guitarist. Brett, Emmons S-10, Morrell lapsteel, GFI Ultra D-10 |

| Holy smokes.... Ben Keith is just super. Tone, taste, restraint........ He's one of the main reasons I play. |

Ben Keith played steel on Patsy Cline's classic I Fall to Pieces. What a great player.

| Thanks for the great responses. Ben Keith is a tremendous talent. I think he should be inducted into the steel guitar HOF. Put him and Bobbe in at the same time. Nick |

| I just heard this last night on an oldies station here in Fort Smith. I really enjoyed the steel playing. Quite a bit of steel guitar all through the song. |

What a career--to go from Patsy Cline to Neil Young, to producing a multi-platinum record for Jewel, and back to Neil Young. I'm jealous...
By the way, the Neil Young movie "Heart of Gold" that recently weas released on DVD is killer--lots of Big Ben and lots of Emmylou, too... |

| He's killing it in the new Neil Young movie that just came out on DVD. I think the DVD is called Heart of Gold, it's their performance of Neils last albumn and filmed at the old opre. |
