Steel Guitar Noir

Post by Andy Volk »

A few friends and I were just talking about our favorite Film Noir movies this morning which brought to mind this meme I did last year (below).
I also got to thinking about what Film Noir-ish tunes are well-suited to lap steel. My list so far. What are some other good Noir tunes for steel?
  • The Night Has a Thousand Eyes
    Laura
    Harlem Nocturne
    Angel Eyes
    Sleepwalk
    Night and Day
    Temptation
