Noel's touch, tone, blocking and feeling here is just so beautiful!
All the Hank Penny cuts are terrific on this CD - just about my favorite of Bogg's recordings and a great CD remastering job by the engineers.

Another point about Noel's playing.............

Your cut also shows how expertly Noel was with the foot volume control. His 'swells' were seamless.
Noel was also an expert at moving from one neck to another in order to acquire a different chord, even for just on 'count'. It was fun watching him play.

Very cool! His soloing reminds me of Bill Evans block chord piano style.

Do you know who played guitar? It sounds a lot like Hank Garland.

Beautiful clip. It hardly seems possible that exactly 39 years ago this Labor day weekend Noel died at the age of 56. Sadly, to me, this kind of steel guitar sound is rarely heard today.

I have digital downloads only so don't know who played guitar. The CD is on sale at the label plus they have cassettes for $2 - remember cassettes?

According to the notes on the Amazon link that Andy provided, it was Benny Garcia.

Benny played on Tom Morrell's time warp top hand CDs. Great player.
