Fair warning, this vocal ballad doesn't include a steel solo (although there's plenty of steel in a supporting role).
However you may find it interesting in at least one regard. I was initially thinking I'd use either organ or pedal steel on the verses. I figured I'd start by putting down MIDI drums, scratch bass, and organ as a reference to build on, and guessed that I'd eventually pull the organ part and replace it with pedal steel playing a similar but not identical part. I did that, and added a Leslie simulation and a bit of chorus to make it more organ-like. Sounded good, but there was something missing. Hmmm, what if I put the organ back in and pan them for a nice stereo effect? That's what I ended up with, and I really like the effect. If you have a moment to listen, let me know what you think...

| My opinion, easy listening, every sound blends and fits, relaxed vocal, like the touch of organ, mouth organ playing great, steel sounds also clear and a pleasure to hear. |
