Years ago, this great question was asked on the SGF and several players replied. Emmons and many other listed Ferlin Husky's "Just Like Jimmy" w/ Jerry Byrd on steel as their favorite:
"Next To Jimmy" - Ferlin Husky Capitol 4406 (1960)

My favorite is Curtis Potter / Darrell McCall / Ray Sanders on"Soft Rain" from "Texas Dancehall Music" w/ Emmons on what sounds to me like a Bolt-On.

"Together Again" is the gold standard imo.
Here are some personal favorites.
Son Volt - "Creosote" (Eric Heywood)
Bon Iver - "Beth/Rest" (Greg Leisz)
New Riders of the Purple Sage - "Death and Destruction"(Buddy Cage)
Dire Straits - "Brothers in Arms" (Paul Franklin)
The Byrds - "One Hundred Years from Now" (Lloyd Green)
Desert Rose Band - "Story of Love" (Jay Dee Maness)
Pink Floyd - "High Hopes" (Dave Gilmour)
Grateful Dead - "Dire Wolf" (Jerry Garcia)
Jimmy Buffett - "He Went to Paris" (Doyle Grisham)
Vince Gill - "Look at Us" (John Hughey)
Marshall Tucker Band - "Fire on the Mountain" (Toy Caldwell)
Bottle Rockets - "Kerosene" (John Keane)
Blue Rodeo - "Hasn't Hit Me Yet" (Kim Deschamps)
Drive-By Truckers - "Two Daughters and Beautiful Wife" (John Neff)
Not really a solo per se but that whole outro tail end of the song where the steel just weeps above it all combined with the subject matter is just...
Bonus: Had to include my favorite steelers twice.
Jeffrey Foucault - "Starlight and Static" (Eric Heywood)
Jackson Browne - "Looking into You" (Live from Home) (Greg Leisz)

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; praise is meet for the upright. Give praise to the Lord with the harp, chant unto Him with the ten-stringed psaltery. Sing unto Him a new song, chant well unto Him with jubilation. For the word of the Lord is true, and all His works are in faithfulness. The Lord loveth mercy and judgement; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
- Psalm 33:1-5 |
