Where can I hear a selection of Greats on CD?

Post by Tony Harris »

First of all let me say that here in England steel guitars and steel guitar albums are pretty hard to find. I have CDs of Buddy Emmons, Doug Jernigan, Herby Wallace, Billy Robinson, Tom Morrell and others, but can you believe I haven't even HEARD anything by Jimmy Day, Maurice Anderson and some other players I know are great (you say so!). Are there any 'sampler' albums featuring lots of different players, so I can find those players whose playing particularly appeals to me? I like jazzy and chordy work, with or without pedals, so I suspect from what I read that I should check out Reece Anderson...
Thanks.

the Angola work farm in Louisiana has a great library of sounds available to the cons who work hard enough to deserve it.

not on CD but on line:

Rebel & Ricky ands Jeff's Steel clip and tab site has links to solos and intros in Mp3 format, and tab for many... not usually complete tunes, as the point is "fair use" educational examples, but it will give you a chronological frame of reference and several of the best steel solo's ever recorded...<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Dave Van Allen on 20 June 2003 at 10:56 AM.]</p></FONT>

Slide has a pretty good assortment of heavyweights on it.
