Buddy Cage with the New Riders has been mentioned before, but check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bedV2iwqQ0o

Probably my favorite for dark is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnCT ...

One thing I've noticed about Buddy, is that just about every video I've seen of him, he's playing a different guitar. There are a few where he's playing the old blonde Sho-Bud but, just about every ot ...

Thanks Glenn, in fact I already knew that Shorty Masters version. Being very familiar with the tune, I think it's safe to say that Buddy Cage has learnt his lesson! Would love to listen to the whole a ...

This must also be among my first ones. I can't remember which one came first, this one or "Deja Vu" by CSN & Y with Teach Your Ch ...

This is just my personal opinion, but with all respect to Buddy E., I think in those days sometimes he would try to "show off" just a little too much, whereas Buddy C.'s playing would just f ...

I don't have a 9th pedal but a few extra knee levers for C6 so I use one of them to experiment with sometimes. Recently I put a change on it that Jimmy Day had on an extra pedal. Lower 8th string A to ...

If you want to get familiar with Buddy Charleton's style, some other tunes that are great examples of his E9 playing are:

The Way That You're Living Is Breaking My Heart
Drivin' Nails In My Coffin ...

It takes a lot of taste to play licks behind the vocals like that without making the whole song appear overloaded. It requires real good volume control also. Buddy sure was the master at that.

I'm too young to have actually seen Buddy with ET, unfortunately never even met him... It may sound funny, but I first became aware of Buddy Charleton through my first "steel guitar hero", B ...

I am not an authority on Fender steels but at least have owned and played both a D-8 Stringmaster and a D-8 Professional with trapezoid pickups (my current guitar).
The Stringmaster had a brighter s ...

Thank you for the great info, now I'm able to narrow it down a bit. (This is about my D-8 (trapezoid) steel, I used to have a short-scale pushbutton Stringmaster which was probably from '55). All pre ...

Don't forget B.J. Cole from the UK (I see Donny mentioned him already), he played on many records by non-country artists and some famous ones among them. Only recently I discovered that BJ also playe ...

Back to the original topic - Sarah is simply totally into it and it shows on her facial expressions and body language. This is nothing but passion, a great artist who is really passionate about her ar ...

Not Hank Snow in person but one of his best known songs, I think Kayton was on fire on this version especially.

Thanks Jim.

Great compilation... Who is the steel player on the first track, "Sittin' On Top Of The World" by Bob Wills? Bob addresses him as "Bobby".

BJ Cole always struck me as an unusual steel player, kind of different from the American players who somehow could fit into the traditional country stuff but could do lots of other things as well, ve ...

My first impression is, Moon sounds fresher, (I like his version better...), the Buck Owens version is a bit more laid back. While Jay McDonald certainly knew how to play, I can't help but think he so ...

For me, nothing but Dunlop .0225 on both pedal and non-pedal steel, they just feel right. But picks are very much a matter of personal preference, so if you're new to it, you should try several brands ...

I bought my first lap steel, a Framus 8-string, in 1992, at a little store in my neighborhood that normally sold organs and accordions. It was covered in blue plush or something like it and looked qui ...

Until now, I didn't even know those records existed. I like this one even better - pure, raw, no-gimmicks sound, just two incredibly gifted players!

Here is one that I like a lot. This is a live version, unfortunately it is cut off in the middle. I'm not sure what kind of guitar is is but it looks more like a solid body.
