That's a tough one,James.There are so many great songs by so many great players.The one that comes to mind at this moment is"Last Date"by the great John Hughey.I listened to Conway Twitty for years,not knowing who the steel player was.I remembered reading "John Hughey" on the LP jacket.I always thought,"this man's playing gives me goose bumps making that steel cry like he does".Then I went to a steel show at Gulfport,MS and he was there.I asked him if he was that John Hughey and he said,"that was me".I told him how much how much joy his playing had given me through the years and I thanked him for that.I later had my picture taken with him at the Dallas show.What makes it so special is that he was a Christian;so we'll talk about it again someday.

Boy that's a tough one.There's so many that I like.
Lost in the feeling and Look at us . I mean John Hughey really nails them both, And Buddy Emmons on his white album doing that medley of songs that include Orange Blossom Special, Steel Guitar Rag, Remington Ride, and Bud's Bounce.James I'm sorry but there are alot of them that are my personal favorites.It is so hard for me to decide.

| I guess my all-time favorite would be Gary Deans's "Right Kind Of Love", with flawless playing by Ralph Mooney. The phrasing is perfection, so good that no one could do that twice. But what really gets me is the sound...it just barks...jumps right out of the speaker. Never heard anything like that before or since - even from Moon, himself. Some of Brumley's stuff comes kinda close, though. |

MINORS ALOUD A revelation about what pedal steel guitar was (or capable of being). It redefined the instrument and made me want to go there...
And it only took me 30 years to get up the gumption to acquire one and learn how to play it! |

Thanks for the in-put fellas. Since I started this thread I guess I should put in my 2 cents.
Everybody's had the blues, Merle Haggard
After that it goes like this for me:
Slowly, Webb Pierce
Keys in the mailbox, Buck Owens
Easy Loving, Freddie Hart
Together Again, Buck Owens
Teach your Children, CSNY
Far Away Eyes, Stones
Rose Colored Glasses, John Connley
Look At Us, Vince Gill
Here in the real World, Alan Jackson
OK I know I just said one, but I just couldn't do it either |

Lap Steel="La Golendrina", as Jerry Byrd played it on his album "Hi Fi Guitar" in the '50's.
Pedal Steel="Once Upon a Time in the West", by Buddy Emmons as he played it on the stage of the Chase Park Plaza hotel at the ISGC in '77.
Both of these "classics" bring chills and thrills beyond what I can describe.
I agree that Tom Brumley's "Together Again" and John Hughey's "Look at Us" were awesome and virtuous.

Blue Jade by the Big E.
Exodus by Buddy at the convention years ago, it took my breath away.

No Contest. Jimmy Day's break on Johnny Bush's Farewell Party. The reason: more emotion than you would think humanly possible. I guess that's why they called him Mister Country Soul. For me, no convention has been complete since we lost him.

Man, talk about difficult ... I really can't say that I have a particular or single favorite ... but, there is one that always sticks out in my mind simultaneously along with the score of many others I'd call my favorites ... and that is Rusty Young's first steel ride in Poco's "Bad Weather" (there are two rides in that song).
Along with that one and all the others mentioned here, I'd have to say that my ultimate favorites would be anything by the late Gary Hogue.

Buddy Emmons on the Roger Miller album 'Trip in the Country' "Nothing can stop my lovin' you."
Gordon Huntley on "Woodstock" and Rod King on "Jennifer Eccles"
The solo on "You'd Better Think Twice" is pretty smart..
