There is some good steel on her website on some of her songs. Check out "Poor Side of Town". http://www.lauracantrell.com/default.asp

His mandolin work is just as good as his steel playing. I think there is more steel on her "When the Roses Bloom Again" cd than "Not the Tremblin' Kind". She is my new favorite. I like artist that play somewhere between folk,country,& rock.

I just did a gig with John Graboff last night in Ireland. He was playing fantastic and that JCH of his is a real beauty.

Hem (my band) and Laura are playing again today at another club in town.

Wayne, can you narrow down where to find
"Poor Side of Town"? Went to site, and couldn't find it.
That's not the old Johnny River's tune, is it?

Yes, it's the Johnny Rivers tune. It's under "DISCOGRAPHY & DOWNLOADS".

Beautiful rendition. Took me back. Did
Johnny R. write it, or someone else?

Probably Johnny R. I think he was [is]
a darn good songwriter.

He co-wrote it. He was kinda put down for doing other peoples songs but I always liked his versions of those songs.
