OK, Today is Pedal Steel Guitar Day

We had such fun and success with the other thread surrounding a cool instrument(B3), I thought I'd try another one with another cool instrument... The Pedal Steel Guitar ...
I love the sound, but must admit I don't know many musicians or groups that showcase them....so I thought we can start sharing again....

Cheers,
Angela

For something a little out of the ordinary check out the Arhoolie label series "Sacred Steel". It's Gospel/R&B based pedal steel music.

The 2nd self titled "Asleep at the Wheel" album is one of my favorites for pedal steel.

If you like that pick up their 1st album and maybe the 3rd.

Same player for the first 5-6 albums, I think, but I lost interest after their second LP.

Saw them in a bar (Gabe & Walkers) in 1974-1975 and then picked up the 1st two albums.

The late great Sneaky Pete Kleinow is the gold standard, IMO.
