I don't have documented evidence to back it up. But I'm familar with a song that Little, Jimmy Dickens came out with during that time period titled "A Death In The Family." Eddie Stubbs has played this song many times on his show, and gives credit to Curly Chalker (may have the spelling wrong) as the steel player on that cut. Without hearing the album in question, wouldn't want to say for sure. But it's possible that Curly played steel on the album that you're speaking of.

I didn't check eBay, but if it's the album on Decca/MCA, it's Chalker on steel.

Curly really brought life to the old hits of Tater's. When I heard it on the radio, I couldn't rest until I bought the LP and it is a landmark project. Curly was at the top of his game during these years this was done.
