Alan Jackson, looks like 1994.

Drew,
Years ago, Paul answered this question on the forum. I tried my best to find the topic but was unable to do so.
Not to speak for him, but if I remember correctly, it was studio reverb mixed with a single 400ms delay. Maybe he will chime in to clarify.
I believe the album was released in 2004. It is definitely one of the best steel tones on record.

I think Paul had his Awesome Pedal turned up to 11 on that one.

Sometimes you just can’t imagine a song being played and sung any better.

Isn’t that the stuff that makes you want to play pedal steel? Wow.
Quite different than Lloyd, and equally great.
Kudos to Brent Mason for the spot-on retro fills.

And as to the effects, yes a bit of 400 ms delay but much of the effect is a smallish room Reverb done in mixdown. 400ms is relatively long for delay, more after effect than ambience.

Thanks Randy, that's it! Thank you for finding it.

And you are correct John; I was thinking of a different record I guess.

I agree; I think the reason we notice it is that the small room effect makes the steel sound like it's in a different world from the rest of the record. I like the background vocals.

Here's a TAB and a video of Paul playing the intro from one of the Lessons in The Paul Franklin Method:

Thank you, John S.
The interesting thing about that intro is that the lines keep going when you think they might be over, but they are conceptualized and connected in a way that doesn’t feel crammed in or overplayed. I guess that’s what separates the players from the true artists.
