Can't work out who's on steel here. Anybody know?

Sounds like Weldon to me?

I didn't think it was authoritative enough for 'E'.

This is from an album of unrelased tracks from 1973-1983.
I think on official releases the steel players during that period were Weldon, Lloyd and Emmons. Of those I`d say it`s Weldon.
Edit. The track is an out-take from the Okie sessions, on which Weldon played. On Old Man and Me....

I'd be inclined to vote Weldon Myrick on "My Baby And Me", but how about this one? Got to be Emmons.

Yeah, has to be Buddy, many trademark licks, phrasing, tone
Wonderful playing!

Peter, I concur with you 100% on both songs. These each displayed signature styles and tone of the two masters.

Keep on pickin'!

Not Buddy's tone, nor licks....Its Weldon.

Paul, I meant the one Peter posted:

Doesn`t that sound like Buddy?

Olli,
I was staying on topic where it was unsettled between Weldon and Buddy. The other track is Buddy.
