On emusic.com I recent stumbled onto Whitey Morgan and the 78's new release "Honky Tonks and Cheap Motels". The songs mostly fall along a spectrum from country to southern rocks, with heavy influences from Waylon Jennings and Charlie Daniels Band. Lots of good songs and there is tons pedal steel -- mixed nice and loud. The pedal steel player is listed as Jimmy Mo.

Anyone else listening to these guys? I'd love to hear a report on how they are live. Looks like they are mostly playing near their home turf in MI.

They are on myspace here.

A correction -- the bassist from Whitey Morgan saw my post and emailed me. Jimmy Mo is currently playing steel with the band. However, all the pedal steel on their record was done by Fred Newell.
