What's making that.... "sound"!

The Hollies had Don King (I think) play steel on "Jennifer Eccles" . . .

. . . and didn't Rod Stewart have steel on one or two of his hits ? (someone might be able to elaborate on this.) . . . and wasn't there a mention of Steel Guitar in the lyrics of one of his songs ? (possibly Mandolin Wind ?)

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 31 Jan 2008 5:11 pm

No, I think that one was Buddy Ebsen.

Did anyone list Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young? (I won't mention the players name - don't want to get somethin' started and derail Reece's interesting post).
