A year and a half ago I did a session for local Alt/Country Singer/Songwriter Justin Morrissey. I had only been playing steel for about two and a half years. Im a little hesitant to post this because there are some parts I would dearly love to do again but I think the guy is a great songwriter and worth a listen.

Im playing guitar on tracks 1 & 7 and steel guitar on tracks 2, 3, 5 & 8.

And if it's you playing lead (not rhythm) on the two songs, I have to say wow!

Joachim, Thank you very much - yes that is me playing lead on tracks 1 & 7. I believe A.J. Steil is playing lead on all the other tracks and that he and Justin Morrisey are playing the acoustic and rhythm parts. I came into the project after all the other parts had been laid down.

I have been playing guitar off and on since I was a kid and Im an old phart now. I sure wish steel guitar was as easy to play Embarassed

I have been working on tuning, intonation and tone quite a bit since the parts were cut and it has improved somewhat.....sometimes...... Laughing

I stumbled across this one on the internet and I must say, this CD is a very nicely produced album.
The production is slightly low-key (and I don't mean out of tune Laughing ) and very relaxing.
Chuck's steel playing and 6-stringer riffs fit nicely in this type of album...as they say: True americana in the heart of the american midwest. Nice playing, Chuck!

Thanks Peter for the kind words and encouragement. Playing live with Justin is a blast too. Very loose.
These were just put up on you tube recently. The mix is funky from the camera placement.

Dont be scared off by the title of the first song. The words are as country as country gets. Broken hearts and broken lives.
