This is such a cool tune. I got the changes & info off the jazz guitar forum.

“Crisis”
by Barney Kessel

A section:
Fm7 F#7 (C7) back and forth.

B section:

F7/F7/Bbm7/Bbm7/G7/G7/C#7/C7 (each chord is one bar)

When he is playing the melody with the B section, like in the beginning, he uses a #9 to b9 to 1 walk down on both the F7 and G7.

Gotta try it out on lap steel.
