Endless Black Ribbon

Anyone know who played steel on this one? I thought I read a thread about it here years ago, but a search didn't find much.

If you're talking about the Red Simpson record it's Leo LeBlanc I believe.

Actually, the cut I'm thinking about is by Tiny Harris.

Lo, these many years later, I can answer my own question. I just read the steel work was by Liston "Lucky" Beal.

Quite a story on Liston Beal at above links.

Deceased in 1997 and suspected of murder.

I read that. Sounds like he kinda lived a life on the fringe (imagine, a musician living on the fringe).

For as much drama and chaos the man apparently lived, makes me wondered when he had time to learn steel like he did. Endless Black Ribbon is a clinic on amazing playing, IMHO.

His son, Larry , posted to the comments on a Youtube vid of the song. That's where I got the info.
