Uhh..."wondrous"?
0Ooo...a little too "pitchy" for me. 
(But maybe it was intentional?) |

I guess one man's beautiful flawed gemstone is another man's unpolished turd. I wasn't expecting such a negative reaction to a ten year old indie song but perhaps it's my fault for using such an emotive, if carefully chosen adjective. There's worlds of feeling in there if you care to notice. I can understand why some people can't get past the dodgy intonation or the slacker attitude. Slick, it ain't.
Jim thanks for the info and link, I see Doug Easley has played with Cat Power. Think I might check them out.  |

I liked it Jonathon. Not Ray Price, but not bad. Different is good.

| I always enjoyed Toy's playing. He was a bit pitchy, but I liked his style. This video reminded me of him. |

| Sounds like one of the Burrito boots when Gram was tanked that they had sense enough not to release. |

The fact it's a ten year old "indie" recording probably has little or no effect on how people judge it. Most people usually judge songs based on musicality, and how the song "reaches" them, emotionally. We shouldn't be hurt if someone doesn't feel the same way we do about a song, or a singer, or even a guitar. |

I think that everyone playing the pedal steel has problems being on pitch, at least for the first couple of years. This player adjusted very well to the song and he had a full understanding of the chord progressions.
Toy Caldwell was sometimes off pitch, but the M. T. B. had a total different style, so the comparison seems false, almost cynical to me. |

I wasn't being cynical. I agree, the music on this video was quite different than that produced by the Marshall Tucker Band. The steel playing, however, does remind me of Toy's playing. For that matter, it also reminds me of my playing back in those days.  |

Lee: My thoughts exactly. It would have been easy to think Toy was doing the steel work because it fit him to a "T"!!
I have been known to be cynical but not about someone else's playing since I could hardly stand mine !!
