I am sitting here watching the Pretenders on Palladia. They have a steel player playing a Williams keyless. Who is he?

Eric Heywood recorded and toured an album with Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders.

Thanks Jon. I think that's who is playing. He sounds good. Don't often see a steel with this kind of music.

Yeah--I need to revisit that. I really like Chrissie Hynde and I dig that she used steel but at the time the music didn't excite me. Often, it is my mental block, not the music. I need to check it out again.

That's who he is. He was just listed in the credits at the end of the show.

I enjoyed that show alot also, and appreciate Chrissie remembering her roots (she is orginally from Akron, OH) and putting a PSG in the band. Some very tasty work by Mr. Heywood!

Resurrecting this post because I just saw the program and was impressed!
For a while it was the Chrissie and Eric show - they really let him play.
A lot of fun watching!

This was fantastic. Been a big Pretenders/Chrissie fan since the beginning...never knew she was cool enough to bring a pedal steel player on tour Wink

Last year read her autobiography, "Reckless: My Life as a Pretender" and learned among other things she was actually present at the Kent state shootings in 1970. She's lead quite an interesting life Smile
