This track came up in an instagram add. I Shazamed it and it came up as part of a compilation "Chicago Slide Guitar Masters. To me it sounds like early Hawaiian/Swing style lap steel.
Anyone know about Eddie Duncan?

A quick Google search shows that he played in a band named the Tune Wranglers: https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/ent ... -wranglers

Though after listening a bit to a few tracks, I didn't hear much steel guitar.

The CD title is "Chicago Slide Guitar Masters" which isn't quite accurate. Duncan was probably from the Atlanta area as the "Peach Tree" title suggests. He ended up in Los Angeles and played with Hank Penny. Nothing to do with Chicago. Same with the Bob Dunn track. Both lap steel and not "slide". Some of these "compilers" and "authorities" shouldn't be doing this kind of work.
