The Steel Guitar Forum

As a new player I am trying to listen to as many of the masters (and todays greats) as I can. However, I prefer PSG in the context of a song as opposed to an album of PSG instrumentals (I think i just dont care for instrumentals as much, they just dont move me as much as lyrical content does). While it is easy to track down solo albums by "the masters" it has been much more difficult for me to find out which albums they played on where they are not the featured artist. I've searched here and googled for some info, some players have good bios/discographies..most do not...but I thought I'd just go ahead and ask you what are your 5 favorite albums with PSG where the PSG is not the main instrument? (they need not be from the masters, maybe one of todays players is on your top 5 list) Thanks.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Ben Jones on 24 January 2006 at 01:44 PM.]</p></FONT>

Ben,

I'm also very new at PSG, and while I like instrumentals I also tend to go for the PSG backings and fills on Songs.
Just recently got more into Country so just a small personal list that got me started.

My list:
Dire Straits - On the night (Paul Franklin) I attended that concert, changed me from a Mark Knopfler fan to a Paul Franklin fan.
Brad Paisley - Mud on the tires (Randel Currie)
Brad Paisley - Time well wasted (Randel Currie, Michael Johnson)

Moved to "Steel Players" section, which are where we normally have survey questions.
