NIce job! I love the tone of your steel as well. It's very "steely"

This is a version of Cold Cold Heart recorded live at The Broken Spoke by James "Slim" Hand featuring Cindy Cashdollar on Stringmaster.

and this is a version by Texas Steeler Extrordinaire Ricky Davis, also recorded live.

Here is my entry into this fun thread.

Thank you Rick for the host!

I was recording my version and decided to get my son Jeff into it also. I play the more traditional role and let Jeff jazz it up a little.

I am using a Melobar Red Rattler (and of course a glass bar)

Jeff is using his Schecter Hell Raiser.

We hope you enjoy this little ditty...

OK, I'll join in. Here's one on my Deneeve dobro with rhythm guitar played by one of my pals on an old J45 Gibson.

Very nice G-man! You and Jeff did a great job.

Dave, you and your buddy did a fine rendition!

That makes 7 so far . .

I had some fun working up my arrangement for Cold, Cold Heart, featuring my Dobro, lap steel and (gasp!) pedal steel. Thanks, Rick, for the rhythm track and for all of your efforts to promote the lap steel.

Great versions out there in Forum land. Chuck, I laughed out loud with the "Honky Tonkin'" ending.

Rick Alexander · Post by **Rick Alexander** » 15 Jul 2007 2:33 pm

Super job, Chuck - I especially like the exotic harmonies in the 3rd & 4th verses!
and the ending is definitely cool . .

That makes 8 !

Gary Boyett · Post by **Gary Boyett** » 16 Jul 2007 3:26 am

Very nice Dave. I loved it!
Way to go Chuck! That was fun. You always can surprise us.

Ok Jeff Au Hoy- it's your turn.

(this was your idea remember?)

Andy Volk · Post by **Andy Volk** » 16 Jul 2007 8:01 am

Nice job, all. It's cool to hear the variations on the theme and hear everyone's individual tone and feel. Awesome! Where's Au Hoy? Jeff, you'll no doubt smoke us all.

Dave Harmonson · Post by **Dave Harmonson** » 23 Jul 2007 1:39 pm

Hey folks, we need some more entries here. I'm looking forward to hearing some different approaches.

I played classical guitar for 20 years before switching to steel, so I couldn't resist trying to come up with something he might have done with the melody. It's in a piano midi voice, written with the free "Noteworthy Composer" program, and recorded on the free "Hi-Q recorder".

I'll have a go at it over the weekend. I think the reason you haven't had many entries is because the song is mainly vocal and relies on the words.

Bob Hickish · Post by **Bob Hickish** » 26 Jul 2007 7:41 am

I'll see if i can post one using Ricks backup

Rick Alexander · Post by **Rick Alexander** » 26 Jul 2007 5:54 pm

Bob, I'd consider it an honor to be your backup band!

Bob Hickish · Post by **Bob Hickish** » 26 Jul 2007 6:00 pm

O key I'll give it a shot Rick , Not sure how I'm going to get it
to an MP3 , Maybe the video trick .

Gary C. Dygert · Post by **Gary C. Dygert** » 28 Jul 2007 2:09 pm

I'd like to have a go at this, but I know zero about making an mp3.

Rick Alexander · Post by **Rick Alexander** » 29 Jul 2007 7:55 am

Norm Evans sent this rendition and asked me to post it for him.

Thanks to Rick Alexander for posting this for me. I used my 1957 D-8 Stringmaster and Gibson 335 to record the song.

Norm Evans

Very nice Norm!
That makes 9 . .

Gary C. Dygert · Post by **Gary C. Dygert** » 29 Jul 2007 2:02 pm

Norm: Sweet, slow, lazy, sleepy steel. Very nice.

Ron Whitfield · Post by **Ron Whitfield** » 29 Jul 2007 4:23 pm

Now this is the closest to what I hear in my head of what this steel instro tune should be like.

Excellant, Norm, that's a keeper!

Norman Evans · Post by **Norman Evans** » 29 Jul 2007 7:26 pm

Thanks for the comments. I have really enjoyed all of the versions. This is a great idea.
Thanks again to Rick Alexander.
