Not on the link posted. I'll guess it's their road player whom ever that might be? I've never heard the LP. So I have no idea about it.

I do know he played on the studio EP. |

I posted the same question on the Forum early this summer and to my untrained ears it sounds like Steve Hinson to me. Very little info on credits for the recording, but it's a great bunch of songs.

| That's who I was thinking Craig but I couldn't find any album credits for the steel. Tasteful stuff throughout the record. |

this looks like a real country band to me, I bet they don't use any session guys, and most then likely whoever plays steel in the band is on the recording... but I could be wrong of course

The several times I've seen Midland around here, there wasn't a steel player onstage or in the band. It looks like they're being marketed as a trio with sidemen.

| It sounds like Paul Franklin to my ears. The solo on "Burn Out" is the giveaway. Great parts on that record. |

| Cool to see these guys getting some attention. Before I left Austin last year, I tuned a piano for their lead player, Jess (the one playing the black Tele in the video) and chatted with him a bit. He mentioned that they'd been doing sessions in Nashville with Paul Franklin and Dan Dugmore. Herb, at the time he said Kim Deschamps was sitting in on a few local gigs. |

The song in the link, and "Drinkin' Problem" could very well be Dan.

| It's probably Dan. Just heard a steel part in the song that sounds like Dan's playing |

| I played on everything that Shane and Dann produced which will be Midland's first major release. |

| Great playing, Paul. Many of my students have been requesting to learn these songs and your parts provide very teachable moments. Well done! |

My OCD is flaring up real bad. The awesome steel solo in Midland's "Drinkin' Problem" caught my attention the very first time I heard it and I spent considerable time trying to narrow down the possibilities of whose style it most "felt" like. But the musical fingerprint just wasn't clear enough to make a solid call. Naturally I came to the Steel Guitar Forum for answers or even clues. Nothing but speculation. Good speculation, but nothing firm. So I bought the single online. No credits provided. Bought it from another source. No credits again! So I did what any irrational music-obsessed person would do. I Facebook stalked Wystrach's mom and even sent a crazy note to the band. Lo and behold, I received a reply! Midland says although they enjoy working with Dan Dugmore, the credit on this song goes to Mr. Paul Franklin. Man don't he play purty!

| The great thing about Paul Franklin is his ability to sound different whenever he chooses. Can't paint him into a corner with his seemingly endless variety of styles. |

Someone commented that this could be a band from the '70s. I agree. There was a lot of stuff in this vein back then. I don't find the singer's voice exceptional (pitchy in places) but overall this is very nostalgically enjoyable.
