The Mud Stand...

1. Holds amps up to 21” tall, 30” wide, 12” deep and 70 lbs. max weight.
2. Tilts your amp back to the optimum angle for playing steel live.
3. Isolates your amp from hollow stages which can adversely effect your tone.
4. Only weighs 3 lbs. and packs into a neat block for carrying.
5. Made of acoustic foam. Will not scratch your amp, cases, floors, or your car seats.
6. Stops Reverb tank crashes caused by foot traffic on the stage.
7. Stops beaming, from the backside of your amp, to the drummer.
8. Takes up very little floor space. Great for small stages.

”The Mud Stand acts as a buffer zone between your dialed in tone and an acoustically unfriendly hollow stage.”... Guitar World Magazine

Sweethearts of the Rodeo, one of my early albums that the steel was so good all over that record.

OK... since nobody bites...

Stan Hitchcock with Curly Chalker... "The Shadow Of Your Smile"

I think that besides intricate and obviously "different" to main stream steel backing of a Country Singer, it was a very complementing and fitting accompaniment and solo.

... J-D.

Today it's this one*:


Not for the quantity of steel guitar, but for the quality of about 24 bars of the C6 ride in the middle of this tune:

The incomparable Buddy Emmons, of course. The rest of those Nashville Cats aren't too shabby, either. High art, in my opinion.

* Pose that question tomorrow, and my answer may be different (but unlikely).

Buck Owens and Tom Brumley Together again

This one’s a tough call between two of Midlands albums.

I’d have to say Midland’s “Let it Roll” album though is my favorite. It’s just packed full of wonderful steel parts.

“San Antonio Rose” with Willie, Ray and Buddy Emmons: 3 legends doing classic songs from their catalogs including of course “Night Life.”

Horse Latitudes - Jeffery Focault w/ Eric Heywood on PSG.

Charley Pride “In Person.” Lloyd demonstrates how to do it properly!

Moe Bandy: Bandy the Rodeo Clown. All of the steel work is typical Weldon Myrick. Really great steel work.

Nashville Bar Association.

Ronnie Milsaps Live with Dicky Overbey



RC

Ray Price Night Life Album - some crazy work and playing in that album.

Linda Ronstadt-Simple Dreams...includes the great song "Blue Bayou". This is what got me wanting to learn steel. Thank You for offering this great product!!!

Charley Pride live at panther Hall with Lloyd Green

Buddy Emmons Live 1977.

Ray Price "The Night Life".
I didn't know what instrument was playing the intro but I knew I had to find one. 55 years later I still love "The Night Life" and still love playing steel guitar.

Ralph Mooney - OKIE.

Bill

Ray Price, "The Other Woman" album. Emmons is all over it and it's the first time I really "heard" what pedal steel is all about.

Wanda Jackson salutes the Country Music Hall of Fame. Ralph Mooney on steel.

I’m a huge fan of anything Emmons but my favorite is Ray Price- “The Night Life”... but I am just beyond words of Travis Toys CD “Entry Point” I can listen to it non stop over and over and over....

IMHO I'm saying Conway Twitty "hello darlin" album with Mr John Huey. I don't think Lew Houston played on that album. Anyway, there you go. That was fun.

Chuck Morel

I can't stop listening to Tommy Detamore's excellent steel playing on Jesse Daniel's Rollin On album. Love it!

Have to go withSWEETHEARTS OF THE RODEO,thanks
