He's simply amazing. Check out Nightlife, Swinging Doors on his MySpace page. Also, if you ever get the chance to get a copy of Gary Stewart's Live at Billy Bob's CD, his and the late Donnie McDuff's arrangements are unreal.

Well my paypal account is $17 dollars lighter, had to buy the disc.
I like the freedom and lack of pedal stomp cliche in his playing.

I've never met Steve or heard him play live but I have heard that he's a players player. By the sound of this stuff I'd have to agree. I gotta have the CD!

I don't know which guitar and amp Steve uses, but his tone is very crisp and clear on "Night Life."
"Tone To Die For." |

Steve has been one of my top 6 favorite steel players for the past 8 years. People would look at me whenever I mentioned his name wondering who he is but he will match anyone on either neck.
I've always said a show with Mike Smith, Mike Johnson, Buck Reid, Steve Palousek, Tommy White, Randy Beavers, and Paul Franklin would be my dream steel show. Well, I can dream can't I? HA HA |

| I've been fortunate enough to watch Steve "come up" from a youngster in the TSGA from about 25 years ago to a mature, articulate, talented, world class steel player,,,and one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. I remember when Charlie Norris would introduce him at the shows,,,and fumble around with his name,,,,He knows it now!!!! Another great talent from back then (and a guy that "guested" on the CD) is Willie Kalusa,,,,a monster player!! |

| This ia a perfect example of why I do not like warm tone. Steve's tone here is clear, defined, nice edge, with still a little body in it. Great string separation. The exact sound that I like. |

Great CD..as is the Billy Bobs CD which I feel is a reference for bandstand approach, tone, delay and just plain great playing on great songs ! Also,if you really like this new CD from Steve you may also want to grab Buck Ried's new offering , these two along with Randy Beavers new offering I believe have really raised the bar.
Listening to Steve playing on I'll Fly away is exhausting...when it's over I need a rest !
I know, I merged two others into one conversation, but I was gonna do a short thread on all 3 anyway...
sorry.. |

A couple guys wanted to know what Steve plays -- an Emmons Legrande III through a Nashvillee 400. Steve gets a killer for tone out of his Emmons!
Here's a picture from the TX Opry Show a couple years ago when Steve was playing with Ray Price.
Albert Talley (tuning his Zum) and I (electric guitar)were part of the house band. What a show! By the way, Ray Price was outstanding that night too.
This is the night Steve reached from behind the back curtain and flipped my Fender amp to standby just before I was to play a turnaround!! Took about 3-4 minutes of wiggling cords...tapping my amp...and a near heart attack to realize Steve goofed with my amp.

Bill Simmons - that's amazing.
You just picked my favourite half-dozen pedal-steel players. I knew someone would agree with me...

| My favorited tune by Steve is "Shadow Of Your Smile" on a previous project on cassette. Incredible talent with a magic touch. This CD is also awesome. |

| The one and only time I ever saw Steve was somewhere around 10-15 years ago at a Steel Guitar show in Dallas and he was playing some of the best E9th and C6th I had ever heard. |

| Good stuff...not surprised though. I'm a big fan and have most of his music. A wonderful talent, great tone and a great inspiration. Always wondered why his name rarely came up on the forum, unless of course I just missed it, oops. |

Here's another pic of Steve at the TX Opry...doesn't he look shy?? HA HA. Steve uses a number of effect boxes but not a rack system that night. By the way, not only is he one of the best steel players, but he plays a mean electric guitar!! (come to think about it, maybe that's why he reached through the curtain while I was playing and hit my standby switch -- my electric guitar playing was probably making him ill!!)
Roger...if I was a rich guy I'd hire those great steel players for a show and fly you in!! HA Glad you agree about those great players coming together.
Tony...I sure remember you coming by the Rains Steel Booth...had a good laugh with you guys...wish we had more time to visit -- maybe in Dallas! Bill Simmons
