Saw Dwight and his band smokin' up quite a jam on late night TV last night (not sure of the show). There in the back was a nice-looking Sho~Bud manned by a guy who was doubling on tambourine. Great player and sound - who was it?

was it you Skip?

It's Josh Grange out there in the trenches. I played steel on the new LP, but I'm staying home these days.

Glad to hear Dwight has a Steel now.
He dropped it for a while.
Is Pete Anderson back?

Posted: **4 May 2006 9:59 am**

No, Pete is not working with Dwight anymore. Lately he's been busy with Moot Davis and with other artists that he has on his label, Little Dog Records.[This message was edited by Skip Edwards on 04 May 2006 at 11:00 AM.]

Thanks, Skip..........what a road band he's got. Those guys came out with guns a blazin' last night.

That song they did reminded me a little bit of the Wanda Jackson song "I Gotta Know" Where it's goes from a rock vibe into straight Cow-ntry. I also seem to remember a Wille Nelson version of Whiskey River that did something like that. Cool concept. Dwight is one slick dude!!

Can anyone name a song he's done with steel?
I sure can't.

"She Sang Dixie" is one that comes to mind.

Lots of steel on 'What Do You Know About Love?'

Posted: **7 May 2006 5:17 am**

He used our local man in Branson, Tom Brumely, "Dixie" and maybe others I'm not aware of.

'The Heart That You Own'.....
Brumley at his finest

Gary Morse laid down some great steel on Dwight Yoakam's cover of "I Want You to Want Me".

Posted: **7 May 2006 5:14 pm**

Dwight's recording of "Johnson's Love" some years back was full of steel start to finish. Sorry, I don't know who the steeler was but he did an excellent job.

Posted: **7 May 2006 7:17 pm**

Lanny, that would be Tom Brumley.[This message was edited by Chris LeDrew on 07 May 2006 at 08:17 PM.]

That record he put out in 1999 or 2000, called "Tomorrow's Sounds Today" has steel on just about every track. Gary Morse does an awesome job on that album. If you don't have that record, I highly recommend it.

Cheers!

Hey Skip,

I just noticed you played piano on Hillybilly Deluxe......cool, man.

Posted: **8 May 2006 5:02 pm**

Yeah, I played on all that stuff. Guilty as charged.
Thanks for noticing.

For people who don't know, Skip Edwards was in the Dwight Yoakam band. He is the real deal and a HECK of a musician. We are lucky to have his opinons here on the forum. Thanks for being here Skip. I always look forward to your input.[This message was edited by Kevin Hatton on 08 May 2006 at 10:51 PM.]

Thanks, Kevin. Glad to be here.

Hey, Skipper -- whas up? Skip was one of the first musicians I met when I came to LA 25 years ago. Funny to still be hacking around after all these years, isn't it, Skip?

Boo

Hilarious...
And for those who don't know.... it was Boo that first introduced Dwight to Pete.[This message was edited by Skip Edwards on 09 May 2006 at 06:45 PM.]
