Who's done the purdiest steel guitar arrangement for Hank William's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"?

Does anyone know of a link to it somewhere? It's not on YouTube. (Huh, I thought everything was on YouTube)

No, I was looking for a link of Jerry Byrd playing the song that was mentioned earlier.

That is Jerry Byrd playing on the cut. I've never heard of him doing an instrumental of it...

Originally you were looking for this, I just gave you an alternative example.

Jerry Byrd's cut on I'm So Lonesome is what spurred me to try this instrument out. I don't think I've heard a more beautiful cut. I hadn't heard Tommy White's cut behind Janelle Arthur on that tune, though. That was immaculate. Thanks, Francesco!

Too bad they didn't let Tommy play more. Would have made it easier to tolerate her empty vocal gymnastics.
BTW, why do so many singers say "The midnight train is winding low", which makes no sense, when "The midnight train is whining low" makes sense and is brilliantly evocative? And can be clearly heard in the original Hank recording?

Leon Russel did a nice version with Churly Chalker:

It's obvious how chords were substituted in some later versions.
