Faye Webster new Album (Matt Stoessel)

Post by Thomas de Bourbon »

New album "Underdressed at the Symphony" from Faye Webster with beautiful steel playing from Matt Stoessel. There isn't much about Faye's music on the forum, which is arguably one of the main forces bringing pedal steel to a young new audience. It's a great mix of rnb/folk/pop.

I agree. When I tell people my age about the pedal steel I usually ask if they listen to Faye Webster. The songs that you listed are some of the most promising examples I know of steel guitar being not only in contemporary mainstream music but being in the foreground of the song. I think Faye Webster has the potential to popularize pedal steel as a sound that audiences want to hear.

Agreed. When I mentioned her a couple of years ago to nominate her to a playlist of 'Modern pedal steel songs,' only the OP responded as a fan.

Always good to know what a young new audience wants to hear from the pedal steel. It is somewhat different from what I wanted when I was part of a young new audience, although Webster’s music is kind of a throwback to Pink Floyd if Jewel was the lead singer and the steel playing is reminiscent of David Gilmour or Daniel Lanois’ tasteful ambient thematic vamping.
