Who played steel on Willie’s studio version?

Thanks!

Reece Anderson?

I don’t know where my LP is so I can confirm but I believe the credit is Tom Morrell.

it really steams my clams that this info isn't more available! That playing is so gorgeous. EVERYONE should know!

Agreed. It has been a reference point for me for playing ballads.

According to allmusic it appears to be Jimmy Day.

where's Steve Hinson when we need him?

I always heard it was Morrell...as a matter of fact,it seems like he was credited on the album cover...

Update:wrong song,wrong album...Morrell is on"Lucky Old Sun"on the"Sound in Your Mind"album...

After listening to"Angel"for the first time in years...

...it sounds like Big Ben Keith to me...I can't believe it-he's one of my favorite steel players...I never noticed it before...it's got to be him!

I AGREE it REALLY sounds like Ben Keith but I can't find any mention of them playing together at any point.

There was one article on line I saw that said Maurice did the Honeysuckle Rose soundtrack, but I just don't think that's him.

Joel,once it struck me that it was Big Ben,I saw several obituaries that mentioned the fact that he had worked with Willie Nelson...

However,I can't find any musician credits for the"HR"soundtrack album...

They also worked together on Neil's"Old Ways"album...

WHOA! Thanks Steve!! I'm a Neil fanatic (and Ben too of course) but this album slipped by me! I had no idea Mooney recorded with Neil!!!
