I got a copy of a CD by WD, the steel player sounds like Mike Johnson. This is a 10 year old CD I think, the steel playing is great and plenty of it. Very country, very commerical.
I do not have the liner notes, anyone know the steeler for sure?

| Hi Larry, If the CD you are referring to has "Borrowed Angel" on it, the liner notes in mine say Paul Frankin on steel & dobro. |

| What a great and under-appreciated album and singer! (And I still have nightmares about trying to learn some of those licks overnight for a suddenly scheduled audition.) |

| I believe that if "Borrowed Angel" had been the first "single' off the CD, Wesley would still be on the scene big time. Jody. |

Yep...I agree! That was a pretty darn good CD. I picked it up when it came out and then booooom he was no longer around. Probably "TOO COUNTRY"....

| Great vocals. Borrowed Angel would have climbed the charts for sure. I really like "I don't know, but I've been told", a nice upbeat tune. Ed |

| Guys, I wholeheartedly agree with all of your comments. I also like "Leave Me A Picture Of You" and "Don't Make Me Feel At Home" from the CD. Wesley's version of "Borrowed Angel" would make Mel Street very proud, I'm sure. |

I think it is one of the best C&W albums ever recorded. WD has faded into the haze, but he had a cool country voice.
The A team was playing on all 9 cylinders on that one. Paul, Brent, Larry Frankin, ....and so forth. It's a darn shame that the CD cannot even be purchased anywhere. |

Ken,
A personal invitation. You come to Alabama on Feb 26, for THE ALABAMA STEEL GUITAR ASSOCIATION'S First Super Jam, I will have Wesley there to sing on your set? Is that a deal??
