I think pedal steel defines it as "Country". You can have fiddle in Bluegrass, Irish music, and other styles. While we're on the subject, the stuff they call "Country" today I call "Southern Rock". If you have distorted solid body guitars, no fiddle, and no pedal steel, it isn't "Country".
This was fantastic. Just love the sound of the pedal steel guitar. And great to see some legends truly enjoying themselves and sharing their knowledge.
I'm a guitar picker but I absolutely love steel guitar and listening to the great stories from you guys who were THERE - is icing on the cake - just great! Thanks for putting this together.
Mr. Vest. I'm out in my garage trying to build guitars and I have to stop because you guys are giving me the chills. If you keep feeding these Legends I may never get anything done. Thank you for bringing all of these guys together for us. jason
Great to see these 3 together! Stu played on my first session @ Vasser clemon's studio in Mt. Juliet, Tn. back in 1980 ? Got to watch Hank Jr. video of Theres A Tear in my Beer with Don at my good friend & producer, Pete Wade's house while eating pizza. Isure do miss Don.
That old feller is Don Helms, Hank Williams’ steel guitarist. He played some of the most iconic steel licks in country music history. So cool to see him set here with these other legends. Mr. Vest, I live what you put together here . You happen to be my all-time favorite steel picker, especially for your work with Vern Gosdin. As a wannabe country singer, it was always my dream to cut a record with you on steel. I hope you’re doing well.
Neal “Pappy” McCormick is the true legend and originator and Godfather. Don Helms got his sound from Neal. Neal was with Hank first. Great video and comments
