That is one of my all time favorite steel solos. There was a discussion here once about who played that solo on the album. Milo Deering and Paul Franklin were the two candidates but was there ever a definitive answer? I have never heard anyone else exactly replicate that solo the way it goes on the album. After much wrestling with it I've come pretty close, as have a lot of others but I'd love to sit across from the guy who laid down that track and see just what he did.

I believe Junior said Milo played on the record. Milo said he stole the lick from Junior. That's the story I got.

Oops! I didn't realize that Junior Knight was ever credited with the original lick. My apologies if that is the case. A good many steelers have shared the stage with Leanne Rimes and I just assumed that Junior Knight was the player on that particular stage. Great stuff at any rate.

Larry is right. Milo was the original player and yes he said he stole the lick from Jr. He and I talked about that years ago when he was a guest in Hot Springs at Ronnie's steel guitar show. Great song and a great solo ride.
