Words Fell Lucinda Williams

I am obsessed with the steel solo from the Live at Fillmore recording of this tune. Anyone have tab for it?

That's a great album. Here's a rough tab of the first half of the solo. The second half uses the same patterns but he mixes them up a bit. You'll be able to figure it out once you start getting the first part down. Most of it's just following the chords, doing some nice slow bends and slides with a lot of sustain.

So how'd you make out on this? I've had the Fillmore cd for a while and I'd been disappointed with it. I dig Lucinda but I don't know her that well. I've had the cd on the mp3 player and when individual songs have come up in shuffle it just doesn't do much for me. But a couple of days ago I made time to play the whole album and it was an entirely different experience. I totally got it.
Pettibone's playing is outstanding (I actually am more interested in his guitar playing than steel but he plays the steel effectively too) and Lucinda....I have never heard anyone who was as willing to lay herself so bare. Some of her songs are downright ugly (and I don't mean that as a diss) and they make her sound really unattractive. Not many performers would so sacrifice vanity for truth.

So anyway--a good lesson for me---don't go casually jumping around a new record and think you have actually heard it.
