BTW, you need to fix your link. Just put a space between that last period after "out" and the url link address.



Thanks for the post.



If you're really interested in hearing the steel in different context get ready, I'll be sending you some links and I'm sure others will as well. You probably won't love everything you hear. I don't either, but I think it's great you're open to listen.

I'll start with this one. Bruce Kaphan from a CD titled Slider. Not your run of the mill pedal steel piece. Yeah Elton, that's Buzz Evans. Look for some of his other stuff like Pink Panther theme on there too. Awesome player in a lot of styles.BTW, you need to fix your link.

Great idea to promote some different styles regardless of genre. There is a wealth of them out here.



Stay tuned,

Email: zaneking@me.com Elton, I hope you get as many hits on this thread as the one about death of the steel guitar. My fear is you won't. I find that there are not enough folks that believe in the steel guitar beyond what it has already done. I truly think some folks believe it has already seen it's peak. I, of course, disagree. I get discouraged when I hear and see the same old things being discussed and followed on the Forum. I know you have followed some of my threads and have commented kindly before. I can send post some of my more "out there" styles with You Tube links here if you like.Great idea to promote some different styles regardless of genre. There is a wealth of them out here.Stay tuned,Zane

Have you truly examined that sight?



The Hawaiian Steel Guitar Assn., also features a bunch of steel guitarists and their music. Have you been there before?

From doom metal pioneers Earth.



Then

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTMR69pzGk0

American music club was a "slowcore" indie band from the 90's based out of San Fransico. I forget if it's Bruce Kaplan who played with them but American music club albums are full of great steel.



And actually my favorite band has a few tracks with some cool steel on them. Red house painters. The steel comes in at around 3:50

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1tZavRpEbk



And then I love both versions of this song. Scott Walker is by far the greatest vocalist of all time as far as I'm concerned. And The fine Neko Case is another of my favorite vocalists, who did a fine cover. And both have some cool steel that fits the song just fantastically.

I've been really into what Susan Alcorn has been doing for quite awhile. I really wish I could find a recording high quality sound recording of her playing with outsider music legend Jandek. here's a pretty overloaded recording.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eK2601Ar-I&feature=related



And there is a fantastic post-metal band called Red Sparrows who feature pedal steel pretty prominently.

And, of course, Dave Easley - he plays with such power and so many tools, and a "freedom from licks" that reminds me of a very select few who play music, not instruments:

Edit: I fixed the Easley link I go back, over and over, to these two; you have to poke along the right side to hear all six, the sheer variety of the Japanese guys is amazing, and, they're doing things thatelse is:And, of course, Dave Easley - he plays with such power and so many tools, and a "freedom from licks" that reminds me of aselect few who play music, not instruments:Edit: I fixed the Easley link

And even though we've all heard the song thousands of times I always forget there's such great steel on the song til I hear it again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBWfUc5jKiM Oh, how could I forget about Japancakes. One of the guys in my band turned me on to this cause. They are fantastic. and there's amazing steel on almost every track!And even though we've all heard the song thousands of times I always forget there's such great steel on the song til I hear it again.
