I dunno what the song is called - but John Laws in Sydney has been playing it for the last coupla days. Not a bad song, but it features prominent Pedal Steel throughout which sounds great.
Wonder who is playing it.......

Could it be long time band member John Jorgensen?
Just a guess.

I think It's `Turn the lights down when you leave.`
Cheers, Arch.

Back in the 1970's one of Elton John's songs featured the pedal steel. As I recall, the song was "Country Comfort".

"Tiny Dancer" was an Elton John hit in the '70s with beautiful pedal steel. It's one of the reasons I took up the instrument. I heard what it could do on something that was not country or even country rock (not that there is anything wrong with steel on those genres, I love them too).
