Hey y’all,
Been listening to Ricky Skaggs’ album ‘Highways and Heartaches’ lately and wondering if anyone knows who is playing steel on “Let’s Love the bad times away� Sounds like Lloyd Green to me but I know Weldon was on the album too. Thanks!

It’s Weldon.
One of the great steel albums of all time, IMO. |

It does not sound to me like Lloyd or Weldon. Bruce Bouton played on some of his recordings so I wonder if it might be Bruce. |

It's a real fine album, but the highlight for me is Nothing Can Hurt You, Lloyd's ending solo is so beautiful and delicate. _________________ ----------------------------------

I played for Ricky in the mid-nineties. Most of the earlier stuff, Bruce Bouton played. Lloyd always played on a few things. I would have to listen to the whole album to see which one I would think that Weldon played on. If Weldon did play on this one, he did a very good job getting Bruce’s tone cause that sure sounds a lot like Bruce’s old push-pull. Plus, it just doesn’t sound enough like Weldon’s style to me. Weldon gets a certain tone and does some things a certain way that I usually have no problem determining what he plays on. To me, this just sounds more like Bruce. Listen to Bruce play You Make Me Feel Like A Man on Skaggs Live In London and see if you can hear what I hear in comparison. I don’t remember the credits except that Ricky used his band most of the time, but, he did like to use Lloyd a lot. Then, in 1986, Terry Crisp went to work for Skaggs and started playing on the sessions. Ricky sure had great tastes in steel guitar players. I did a pretty good job on the gig. I think one of the main reasons why Skaggs hired me was because I was a pretty good dobro player and I could play a good deal of Jerry Douglas’s style. I sure do miss them days. |

No need to discuss further. The inner sleeve of the album lists detailed credits for each song, Weldon is on this song.

Ricky always had a great steel player, and Dean fits right in there. The Dobro was a highlight for me. Thanks Dean. I have a tough time picking out the differences between these excellent players and have to depend on the credits to guide me. |
