I just heard "I'll be home with bells on" by Dolly and Kenny on the radio the other day, it brought back a whole lot of memories a kid. I grew up listening to this record every year as my mom was a Kenny and Dolly fanatic. There is some good steel on a few songs and I was just curious if anyone knows who was the steel player on that record for curiosity sake, thanks.
Still enjoy it on youtube,
good old country Chrismtas music |

The inner sleeve of the record album doesn't mention a steel player I think..

Im playing that record a lot these days. Im gonna play most of it at a christmas and dinner show they are arranging here in my hometown. I will be playing Steel and guitars.
I was also wondering who played Steel on the record. ..
Terrible sound on the steel though... could it be very well programmed synths...?
I think it is pedalsteel, but the sound is not very typical Steel.... |

I looked at the credits and the name Jim(my) Cox rang a bell.
He also plays on an Albert Lee record called "Speechless" and he's featured on keyboards, synthesised banjo & steel guitar. On "Arkansas Traveller" the keyboard sounds almost like a steel.

Maybe i misunderstood....?
What do you mean by; synthzised Steel and banjo..?
Played on Steel and banjo, then made to sound more like a synth.
Or played on synth to imitate Steel and banjo...? |

Tor, that's what the cover says. But after another listen it sounds more like a synthesised flute to me.

Banjo starts at 1:13, steel at 1:40.

| Jim is a master at playing synth parts idiomatically. I bet it's him. He is also quite a musicologist, with thousands of records and a photographic memory. Years ago when I was at Killer Music, a jingle company in Hollywood, before the internet made it so easy, we used to call Jim for arcane info on old music. |
