What steel player is this

Post by Graham Bland »

Can someone tell me who is taking the ride on this song
it occurs at 1:12 in this video...It's not Buddy, or Jimmy so who would it be?

Thanks,

Jimmy Day broke his leg in a bad car wreck...Jack Evins subbed for him on some sessions and on the road...I think Jimmy came back after his leg healed,and Jack went on to become a Federal Marshal...he was also a member of the family that started the"Cracker Barrel"restaurant chain...Jack left us a few years ago.

Steve,

I think that there is a TN State Park over Putnam way named after that family as well, sound right?

Hope y'all are well.

It is my understanding that Jack Evins was the steel player on the "Invitation to The Blues" Ray Price recording. I always thought it was Jimmy Day.

Agreed...sounds like Ray singing harmony with himself...Jack played steel on the record.
