"Willie" with a STEEL!
A few years ago I picked up a Willy Nelson album titled "Just One Love" and the credits listed the big "E" as steel player along with some other great players. The fact that Buddy Emmons was listed was as much of a factor in buying the CD as was Willie. A nice bunch of real good country with steel on most if not all cuts, give it a listen & enjoy!

Most of Willie's recordings in the '60s had Jimmy Day on them. In fact he was in Willie's band till Willie's producer(some guy name Chet Atkins) made Willie fire Jimmy, just days after Chet had Willie fire Johnny Bush from the band.James Cann wrote:Willie (Nelson) with a steel player?
Mine is hardly a well-informed point of view, but I can honestly say I've never seen nor heard a steel as part of his stuff, save for "Seven Spanish Angels" with Ray Charles.
Someone enlighten me!
Also the CD Willie put out last year, of all the Cindy Walker songs, has Buddy Emmons all over it. Very highly recommended. Willie Nelson: You Don't Know Me: Songs Of Cindy Walker
If you want some of Willie's older recordings with Jimmy Day and Buddy on them(a few songs are just Willie and Jimmy by themselves).
You should try to find Willie Nelson - Crazy: The Demo Sessions on SugarHill Records and produced by the forums own Steve Fishell.

Duncan Cameron and I were recalling some of our 70's experiences and recalled that John Hugheys pickin on Bloody Mary Morning from Phases and Stages was some of the hottest, fastest, cleanest, and best sounding pedal steel on a record of the day.
Listening to it today I am still in awe of his precise playing on that cut in particular. If I could play that ride correctly once before I die....
