| Hey everyone! I’m quite new to the pedal steel game and am wondering what everyone’s favorite records with pedal steel are? Preferably country. |

Anything by Red Steagall with Sonny Garrish
Anything by Conway Twitty with John Hughey
Anything by George Jones with Pete Drake
Anything by Asleep at the Wheel with Lucky Oceans
Anything by Ernest Tubb with Buddy Charleton
Anything by Patty Loveless with Russ Pahl
and many more... These guys have worked with all the best singers. |

Hey Austin, I do not know how to put a link here for CD like Dick Wood did. But if you go to you tube and put in Curtis Potter name you will like. Also one of my all time favorites is this one. It has Steel and Fiddle all over it. Gary Carpenter on steel and Bobby Flores on fiddle. It is an old one but still can be found. It is pure country. Recorded in 2001. Good Luck, J.R.

I don’t know how I could have forgotten the Commander’s “ Hot Licks, Cold Steel, and Truck Drivers’ Favoritesâ€, with Bobby’s astounding steel playing.
Same with The Black Brothers “Pickin In A Skull Orchardâ€, which should be required listening for any steel player. |

| For some of the most tasteful steel guitar you ever heard,try this on for size. The whole album is overflowing with steel. |
Indeed, Dick, notwithstanding the unsolicited political ad at the beginning of the video... |

| On the Gospel side the "Wanted Live" album by the Happy Goodmans with Jack Smith at 16 years of age knocking it out of the park. Lets not forget the hundreds of records Sonny Garrish played on as well. There are so many Gospel albums that have wonderful steel playing by Garrish. |
