I've been stumped trying to think of songs with obvious knee lever changes as requested in the original post...

then I remembered that Tammy Wynette's D-I-V-O-R-C-E was the first to use the E>F ...

sounds like he's playing the Buddy Emmons version
https://youtu.be/6qgvUCpd4NM

well, 4-Wheel Drive was Buddy Emmons' answer to Sleepwalk but it wasn't nearly as popular for some reason.

as far as the most recognizable, I'd go with Teach Your Children. Jerry wins again Winking

might be time to pack this one in, Joel Razz

a low G is very useful but I prefer to raise string 9. you can raise both 9 & 10 a whole tone for a lovely 4-over-5 chord, I use that a lot.

tough call but I'll go with Red

I don't know if this has been mentioned but how about Top of The World by the Carpenters, Buddy Emmons in the steel chair?

Red Rhodes played the intro/outro, Buddy was called in later to add all th ...

hey Joel!
you might include this one for the Detroit connection. I think it was Paul Franklin's first major session and a pretty big pop hit:

wanted to share this gem by Jimmie, probably my favorite of his. a fun riff to try and play... it ain't easy!

just love his thumbpicking approach to C6 and his solo is a jaw dropper... how'd he do ...

just saw this vintage Evans on Reverb... apparently the fifth one made and possibly belonged to John Hughey, though the seller has no proof.

Ralph played the steel on most of the album but I just checked the liner notes and it's Ben Keith on My Boy

guess I'll keep looking!

Thanks Norm. Those are great!

On a related NOTE, did Moon ever play a Major 7th? I don't think I've heard it.

If he didn't, then I don't have to.

I don't know the answer but I'd assume it was quite similar to his 12-string copedent. he didn't play any C6 that I'm aware of.

how many #1 hits had memorable steel guitar in the same timeframe as Willie's (1975-1989)? he did record with steel several times in those 15 years and for the most part, I don't think he had a clue w ...
