Had the pleasure of attending a Leann Rimes concert last week. Anyone know who played steel on this latest tour? Thanx

Rusty Danmyer

Junior Knight played for her in the early years.
I met and had breakfast with him at a PSGA show years ago.
One of the finest players and gentlemen I have ever had the pleasure to know.
I have a picture I took of him and L.T. Zinn hanging in my music room and sent them both a copy
back then.

Thank you Theresa and Don - Ham

Gotta tell ya I've thoroughly enjoyed takin' Junior's pickin' apart on "Blue" and puttin' it back together.

Can't duplicate that sweet sound though...

We were supposed to get her for a concert here in Bradford several weeks ago but she cancelled out on us.

Maybe later....

Thats not Junior on Blue. Its Milo Deering.

I had heard it was Gary Carpenter. Anyone know for sure?

Yes. Its Milo Deering, for sure.

someday he will be known as the legendary....
but then and today it was and still is ..milo deering
that did the original cut of the bill mack written song........blue

country........

Thanks for the clarification. Now I know.

Junior was playin' steel for LeAnn right before I started playin' steel because I remember in a brochure that Carter Steel Guitars had put out, they said he was playin' his Carter on tour with LeAnn. Rusty Danmyer used to play steel with Lee Ann Womack, and joined LeAnn Rimes' band a few years ago. Rusty plays a Zumsteel and lately I've seen a picture of him playin' a ShowPro steel.

Guess I was misinformed on the studio cut.

I'll tell ya that Junior's version of "Guess My Eyes were Bigger Than My Heart" is a joy to listen to.
Same for his version of "Satin Sheets".

Thanks for the kind words guys!! And yes..it was Milo on the hit cut of Blue..and it NEEDS to be a classic solo!! Its a tuffy to learn..I know that for sure!!
