There seems to be some recordings of great steel guitar music that survives the years and you can play over and over again, and still be inspired. The genius in them survives the times, and you just wish you could play something like that. These are the ones I will put on my list:
-PF on Dire Straits "On the night" and the Nothing Hillbillies record.
-Jimmy Day "Golden steel guitar hits" & "Steel & Strings"
-BE "Black Album" & "Steel guitar Jazz"
-Lloyd on Charleys Panther hall album.
So who's on your list? Who am I missing?

My all-time favorite is Curly Chalker's "Up A Lazy River" live from Scotty's, I can't remember the year but it runs over 10 minutes. almost a mini-album in itself !!

| John, I agree about that live session with Curly but the most treasured of albums is "Big Hits on Big Steel." "Counterpoint" would have to come in second. Everything he did is the ones that never loose their wonder for me. Of all the heros I have, he tops the list. |

Glenn-
Igor Stravinski had a steel guitar ;-)
When are y'all coming back to College Station so I can hear you play? Do you still have that 90 pound Sierra 14 string, because I promise you I won't help you carry that one out to the bus. Once is enough.
My pick would be "Lullabies Legends and Lies," Bobby Bare with (correct me if I'm wrong,) Mr. Green and Mr. Day on PSG and Dobro. |
