Jon Graboff has been w/ R.A & the Cardinals for a couple of years now. Far as I know he still is.

There's an article in this month's HARP magazine on Ryan Adams--pics of the band there as well, although I've only barely skimmed the article itself.

I think that's when he was using his JCH. I believe he's using a Pro 1 now.

I recognized the name as Willie Nelson's pedal steel player although Allmusic credits him only on the 2006 "Songbird" album. Was he with Willie Nelson for a while ?

Ryan Adams produced Willie's Songbird album, and the Cardinals were the band. I don't believe they played on the road with Willie, however.
