Really nice sound. You've put a lot of feeling too.
Sergio
Hi Sergio, Thank you very much. And yes, pedal steel creates a lot of emotion for me. Best to you. Alan

Beautiful Alan. Such a cool song. I loved this instrument. Well done.. Hello Scott. Thanks for the visit and listen. I'm delighted you thought the song had a "cool" sound. I've always loved the pedal steel. Most casual listeners of country music immediately think of the "crying, Whiny" steel from early country songs (which like Tom Adams, I also like), but it has so much more to offer. A typical pedal steel has two necks - one tuned to E9th and the other to C6th. That C6th neck can play some real fine jazz! This song would have been played on the E9th country tuning but was played to accommodate amore "fat and luxurious" sound. They are quite verstaile. Thanks for the kind visit. Best to you. Alan

Wow - what a tune! It flows smooth as butter, and it isn't often you hear the pedal steel as the star of the show. But this really showcases how great of a sound it really is. It has a lot of texture, and the backing tracks you chose compliment one another perfectly. Great work, and thanks for sharing  Hello Deryk! Smooth as butter, eh? I'll take that - thanks! I'm glad it comes together nicely for you. Thanks for letting me know. Wishing you and the entire PG Music staff the very best. Alan

An instrument we have been fans of since childhood.
So many folks never get beyond the "weeping steels" of classic country (which we like) but the instrument can be so expressive in so many ways. Tom got us interested in Sacred Steel as an example of its versatility.
We much enjoyed this!
J&B HI Guys! Thanks for the listen and very kind comments. And you're right - most folks who aren't country music fans, or just recently have become one, think of the pedal steel as the "crying, weeping, damn I'm depressed" style. And like you two, I'm just fine with that. But, as you said, there is so much more to the instrument. It can cover so many genres and evoke so many different emotions. If I could afford to buy one - those puppies are mucho expensive - I'd learn to play the thing to the best of my ability. And yes, Tom is a really good player. let's face it - the guy has many musical talents that most folks don't have. Again, many thanks. Best to you. Alan

I find it a very expressive steel guitar. Then I listened to Sarah Jory, and I see what you mean. Really nice. Hi Marty, Always great to hear from you - wish it were more often. I'm delighted to hear you appreciate the expressiveness of the instrument - that's very nicely put. And yeah, Sarah's pretty dang good! Wishing you well. Alan

Alan, this is one of the best instrumentals ever posted here! Of course I may be a bit biased. I have been listening to Sarah for years. The best thing about her are the expressions on her face and how she physically is so involved in the performance. Get into it girl! Her YouTube video of Ray Price’s City Lights is a great watch. https://youtu.be/kGS2J1A5bbA You nailed the tone. Eddy Dunlap is one of the best up and coming players in the younger group of Nashville players. The chord changes you have chosen are what drives the melody and makes this such an interesting listen. I hope to get my recording space finished where I will have room to keep the steel set up and try to use it more in the coming year. I seem to say that every year and yet they keep on slipping by. Best to you and Di, Tom Hey Tom! I've been waiting for your comments! Thank you so much for those very, very nice comments. I am flattered!!! It surprises me how many country musicians are not aware of Sarah Jory. I've had the pleasure to see here in person twice and listen to her often all those years I lived in Europe. She attended numerous steel guitar conventions. Her health took a serious blow and she was out of the loop for several years. When here father died a few years ago, his last wish to her was that she return to playing again when her health permitted. She rejoined "the club" several years ago and is making country and country-rock fans smile again with her immense talent. I've had that link to her "City Lights" performance bookmarked for several years. That's true country steel at its best, in my opinion. I grew up when it was nearly mandatory you have a steel player in your band if you were doing country - the likes of Buddy Emmons, Jimmy Day, Weldon Myrick, Buddy Charlton, Sonny Garish, Lloyd Green, Norm Hamlet and John Huey. There were a few others, too. I you've not seen/heard it, here's a Buddy Emmons clip you might enjoy. It gives great support to the fact a talented steel player can hold his own with Jazz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BtaQq4ZhaUThanks again, Tom. Wishing you well - and get that dang music room built! Alan

Man, what a great sound!
Loved this one, Alan, good job on the production and mix. Hi Dave, Well, thank you so much! Glad it works for you. I love the pedal steel - had one in almost every band I played in for 50+ years. Best to you. Alan

Alan, thought I’d chime in again. While on vacation in GatlinBurg Tn, I met Gary “Biscuit “ Davis, the only 4 time national banjo champion. In the course of our conversation it turned out that his father in law was Herby Wallace , one of the all time great C6 players. At a convention a few years later I ran into him again and helped him load in. My wife was a little late getting there and she walks up a says” I’ve been looking for you “ . I said quick get a picture of this because the guys in the band told me I couldn’t even carry Herbie’s guitar case and I want proof they’re wrong! We all had a good laugh and Herby introduced me to John Hughey later on. My wife also won the door prize which was a set of Jeff Newman teaching tapes. That was a memorable day. This is a clip of HW with Biscuit playing guitar. He was a monster. Gary still is playing at Dollywood. Tom. https://youtu.be/TxaC28Ak1Ng

Alan,
Really nice pedal steel!
I entirely agree with Robert.
Very expressive. The pedalsteel "talks" like nothing else.
Beautiful! The chord progression is also very nice and perfect fits this kind of music.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Tom. https://youtu.be/TxaC28Ak1Ng Tom, I wasn't familiar with Biscuit until you sent me that link. Thanks for that! I am quite aware of Herby Wallace - I've seen him in person several times. I guess you showed them about carrying Herby's guitar case - Ha! I think John Huey played the prettiest pedal steel I've ever heard. Although he wasn't too shabby on the C6th neck, he owned the E9th neck. Are you familiar with Larry "Wimpy" Sasser? he's another terrific player. Of course there's Paul Franklin and Larry White, as well as my friend, John Heinrich. Are you familiar with DeWitt Scott ("Scotty"), from St. Louis? He put on the International Steel Guitar Conventions in St. Louis every year for about 30 years. He was a good friend of mine. I spent many dollars at his music store! It's a shame he passed on last year and the conventions are no longer being produced. He did a lot for the steel players, the pedal steel industry, and the fans of the instrument. On top of all that, he was a classy gentleman. Best to you. Alan PS: You ain't too bad yourself!!!

Steel guitar instrumental? I came in with doubts, and left a believer! Nice... Except for that ending. Hi David, Glad it made you a believer! As far as the ending - people love them or hate them when they don't resolve to the tonic chord. I kinda like 'em. When i don't resolve to the tonic I usually end them on the 6m chord, but in this case I went to the 4m9. But I'n delighted you enjoyed the rest of it. Many thanks. Alan

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
