Hi all, another Friday and time for another Pedal Steel Only arrangement! This week I present the 22nd arrangement in the playlist and one of my first favorite songs when I was a kid back in '67, "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum.
I took a very different approach to this one compared to the other arrangements in the playlist. Rather than recording multiple tracks I kept this one to a single solo track with no bass or other parts overdubbed.
Imagine if you walked into a great echoing Leipzig cathedral in 1723 and saw Bach sitting at a new invention called a pedal steel, he might have sounded something like this
The playlist includes several pedal steel only arrangements of The Beatles such as: "Strawberry Fields Forever", "The Fool on the Hill", "Julia", "Across the Universe", "She's Leaving Home" and "Long, Long, Long". In addition there are also arrangements of "Time Waits For No One", "Lady Jane" & "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones, "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues, "Starman" by David Bowie, "Good Advices" by REM, "The Crystal Ship" by The Doors and several Grateful Dead arrangements: "Ship of Fools", "Candyman", "Rosemary", "Mountains of the Moon", "Row Jimmy", "High Time" & "China Doll".
"A Whiter Shade of Pale" can be heard at:

All songs are arranged and performed on a 2019 Mullen G2 SD12 in extended D9.
Thanks for listening!
