Anyone know who the steel player was on this weird and wonderful song?

I’m obsessed with the tone. The intro is one of those intros that the first time I heard it - simple as it may be - I just went MAN what was THAT?!?

Sounds like a Sho~Bud Perm. If it was cut 1963 or a little later, maybe a Fingertip. Sounds a little like Lloyd.
