On 'Brazil,' the steel almost sounds like a keyboard at first, but reveals itself.

I'd love to know who was playing. It's the nazz, like the arrangement. Wait for the tuba at the end. |

Sounds like Red Rhodes and it is almost Michael Nesmith's style, only with stronger vocals. Geoff Muldaur sure can sing!

I don't remember the name of the album, but it was Poco live in Boston.

Ha! The best "wait for it" in a while!
Wow... with a steel guitar pioneer, and a REAL baseball hero.

Deliverin'. I believe it was recorded both in Boston and NY. I was at the show in Boston, at the Music Hall just at the edge of Chinatown. Acoustics were great in that room - at the time, it was the center of ballet and opera in Boston. |

There’s a pic in the book of Bill Keith playing in what looks like the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. I think that’s Geoff Muldaur (Pavarotti-esque singer on Brazil) seated behind Bill and to his right. |

"We Been Away" on the 1971 Boz Scaggs album, "Moments." Great steel solo with probably echoplex delay by John McFee. Magic moment in my life hearing that sound. Changed my life forever!

When I bought my first pedal steel, I was heavily into bluegrass--with no country music albums.
I bought this album at Radio Shack, assuming it had steel guitar on it (I had heard Skeeter sing on the Opry many times).
It had great steel, which I later found out was played by Jimmy Day. I spent a lot of hours learning how to palm-block Jimmy's very simple but effective 1551 intro to "The Devil's Doll".
I later read that, upon hearing this album, Buddy Emmons decided to move back to Nashville from California.

My first two steel records are still a couple of my favorites.
These were the first two I bought because I'd just become interested and bought my first Sho Bud S-10.
Found them at a big record shop in San Francisco as the only two steel Records they had in stock.
I also had many of the other records with steel on them that others have noted, but didn't buy them for the steel guitar at that time before I got interested in playing steel. |
For those not familiar with the Cal Hand album, here's a cut from it:

I think my first would have been "Chuck Berry's Golden Decade"...or did I buy that after "Wheatstraw Suite" by the Dillards (Buddy Emmons)?

As a youngster, I was more into popular music than country.
Had a rock band when I was 16. Two of the early records I remember buying were "Teach your Children" and "Top of the World" by the Carpenters. I heard lots of country on my local small town radio station and liked the songs with well played steel in them. Later, I bought Merle, Buck, Conway, George, etc. |

I forgot to mention that my first early day Steel Guitar LP's was Emmons Black LP and the Red Suite Steel LP. Just happened upon them in a big Record store in OKC. Then I found Tom Bradshaw's LP Record Club thru the Guitar Player Magazine. I have all of those. And I still have a good turntable. I still enjoy getting them out sometime and dreaming. What and era.

It wasn't on an album (I could be wrong) but Jack Scott "Burning Bridges". It's still one of my favorites.

The First new Riders album (NRPS) with Jerry Garcia on steel. I was hooked when I heard the steel solo on "Last Lonely Eagle". Then of course "Powerglide" with Buddy Cage, "Dire Wolf" from "Workingmans Dead". And of course the steel solo on "Panama Red" just about floored me.
