"Where No Steel Player Has Gone Before"
It's true! French pedal steel virtuoso Lionel Wendling has released an astonishing CD called "Steel World". Each track is a totally different style of music, drawing from cultures all over the world. It's hard to review except to say, it's incredible! The music is very modern, with a heavy jazz influence and a healthy dose of electronics. Five of the eleven songs are original compositions, and the rest are unique arrangements of songs you may have heard before, including OBS, Rhodes/Charleton's "Honey Fingers", and Zappa's "It Might Just Be a One Shot Deal".
I'm not sure how to order it - Lionel sent me a copy to review. I'll post more info when I know more. This is one that adventurous players will definitely want for their collection.

Hi there
Thanks for the review. I'm not used to get that many compliments. I'm not sure I deserve it.
The simplest way to order it for now is via paypal, using my email address wendlinglionel@wanadoo.fr.
The price is 12 USD for one CD, shipment included.
If you need more info, don't hesitate to contact me.
À bientôt |

I've had the great pleasure of hearing this amazing CD. It's totally different than any steel-related CD I've ever heard. Outstanding writing, playing and production by Lionel. Lots of eclectic, world-music influences that we don't typically hear in the 'steel community'. Great job, Lionel!

| I saw Lionel play at Harry Guffee's steel show up in Connecticut , must have been early 80's (the one where Reece Anderson headlined). Lionel was impressive back then. I'll bet he's a monster by now. Looking forward to checking out the CD. |
