Thanks Joe for the vote of confidence...
I kind of agree that for there to be (relatively) little steel on the cd is not really in the spirit of the original, BUT not everyone who participated in the project has the luxury of having a steel player in their band or among their associates; pulling a comp like this together is a geographically and artistically scattered task- each participant submits their cut which has been independently produced. The fact that there is any cohesiveness to the overall collection is near miraculous.
I got my copy this weekend... there is some fine steel playing by NYC's Jon Graboff on the first cut "You Told Me", blending Straight steel and some cool fuzz lines...
in other cuts there are some lap steel and other slidey things going on.
Hellecaster John Jorgenson nails "You Just May Be The One".
It is indeeda very pleasant retrospective of Nez tunes and good exposure to many young bands keeping the Country rock flame alive...
my only complaint is there is entirely too much b@nj* on the cd for my tastes 
(even Last Train Home has an overdubbed banjo goin' on in the background
