| This is one of the best instrumental recordings I've ever heard. Steve plays island style steel guitar as pretty as you've ever heard. His original melodies, taste , touch and tone are absolutely exquisite. Steve's steel guitar playing had me pressing the repeat button over and over. Just beautiful steel playing. |

Tommy, thanks for the heads-up. Steve is easily one of my all time favorite Guitar slingers and singers, I think if he had one or two small different "direction breaks" or "songs" he would have been one of the biggest names in Country Music today, very few can sing like Steve or play like Steve...actually a majority of the last decade male singers can't even come close.
I'm checking out the Guitar Lab LP now..
thanks

I get reports about Steve from our bass picker. He worked with Steve in Indianapolis before he ever went to Nashville (and worked with Dottie West).
I too have always liked his picking.
There are other outstanding singers around that have never made it or as far as Steve has. Bob Browning, who I worked with at Little Roy Wiggin's music store, is one. |

Lloyd Green gave me this CD in Nashville last spring. I agree...it is stellar from top to bottom.

Commercial success, mechanical aptitude (the ability to say something with your playing or songwriting), and having something to say are not too closely related, in fact if the "lyrical themes" of today's most successful male country artists are examined, emotional or mental content is to be strictly avoided. It's a scwewy wuld.

What a fine album! It sounds like something that Chet himself - were he still with us - might be doing today. Very tasteful and extremely well played. I've just bought it.

I've known Steve since the mid 70's and he is one of the most talented people I ever met. Aside from music he's an artist, sculptor and magician. On top of all that he's also a really nice guy.
I think he played steel on one of his own songs when he was with Bob Luman. The band had an album out back then and Steve wrote, sang, played guitar and possibly bass and steel on "Atlanta My Greatest Loss". I gotta try to find that album again. |
