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)

| "Cowboy Peyton Place" Dan Dugmore. Doug Sahm song. Dan's intro and solo are beyond compare. |

That would be my old pal Tommy Detamore in Floresville, Texas playing the amazing steel on that track.
The original version that Doug Sahm cut back in the 7O's was with the late Harry Hess. |

Thanks Pete for the correction.
Tommy's playing is just outstanding. I've listen to Cowboy Peyton place more times than I can count and it's always inspiring everytime I hear it. |

Hey Pete, I watched the movie Roadie a few nights ago, and saw your name in the credits. Such a great time capsule film. Wonder if you have any stories about it.
