I was searching for the sheet music for "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" which I now have and thank you to all who provided the information. I ran across four records and I am trying to determine if I should find an old record player to play them on. I do not recall when I got these. They do not have any tablature with them. I looked on the Jeff Newman site but only found the backing tracks.

1. The Amazing and Easy To Pedal, One Knee Steel Guitar Course. Is this only rhythm tracks? Did this course come with tablature?
Country Rhythm Tracks; Panhandle Rag, Love You So Much It Hurts Me, Faded Love, Loving You, Spanish Eyes, Georgia, Tuning Tone E
Gospel Rhythm Tracks; He Keeps Me Singing, I Know Who Holds My Hand, Sweet Sweet Spirit, What A Friend, My God Is Real, Jesus Loves Me

2. Music to Back Up By. Again, only the rhythm track is mentioned. Nice Sho-Bud on the cover. Yes, I know Jeff is on the cover also.
Side One; E Tuning Note, Just Out Of Reach Of My Two Empty Arms, Time Changes Everything (West Coast), Another Bridge To Burn, Healing Hands of Time, I Don't Believe I'll Fall In Love Today (West Coast Style)
Side Two; Time Changes Everything, It Should Be Easier Now, I'll Catch You When You Fall (West Coast Style), For the Good Times, Another Bridge To Burn (West Coast Style)

The two backing tracks records are Steel Tracks I (Country) and Steel Tracks II (Blues and Swing)

I'm not familiar with the first, The Amazing & Easy, etc.

The second is an LP with a singer, rhythm section and Jeff's steel intro's, fills, and turnarounds. The LP is stereo and engineered so that by balancing the left and right on your stereo player you get all the above. Resetting the stereo balance to omit the left speaker, you get only the singer and rhythm section (I could have right and left backwards). There was also a tab book with Jeff's stuff tabbed out; IMO it wasn't very useful and as he said was only intended to give a player some ideas. I've had a lot of fun with this LP.

The 2 backing tracks were rhythm only, no tab, but it was originally accompanied by nashvile chord charts.

Hope this helps.
