Hi everyone,
Ive never posted on the pedal steel section as Im a non-pedaler who is eventually wanting to get a pedal set-up. I am wondering if anyone knows what sort of steel Lloyd Maines plays and/or anything else about his gear. I really love his playing and tone with Uncle Tupelo and James Hand and its hard to find much info about him on line. Thanks
Eric |

Hi Eric,
I asked a similar question about a year or two back and Lloyd actually emailed me this regarding his playing on Anodyne. I'm sure he wouldn't mind me sharing his details:
"Julian.....Lloyd Maines here. A friend of mine forwarded your unquiry about my gear on Uncle Tupelo's Anodyne.....Man, that was around 1992 or 93, I think.....I was playing a Sho-Bud Super Pro through a Boss Delay pedal and plugged in Direct into the recording console....We were cutting live in a pretty small space, so the direct worked better and sounded fine.....it was fun...thanks for your interest."
All the best,
Julian

I've got an old instructional video of his with him playing a ShoBud pro II. Granted, that was probably 25 years ago.  I do believe he is playing Mullen guitars now. He's not bad on dobro, either.  |

Awesome, thanks Julian! I love his work especially on "High Water" on Anodyne and also on two James Hand albums that he played on and also produced.

| Is there a site anywhere that tells other records he has played on? I am really interested in finding some more examples of pedal players doing alt country stuff too if anyone can suggest some. Its nice to hear the steel in that slightly different context ya know? Thanks for all the great info! |

| The picture on the cover of Lloyd's "60 Hot Licks" CD is a Derby SD-10. Don't know if he ever played one, though. |

Listen to Lloyd's work (and Natalie's) on the great John Hadley tune; "Hello Mr Heartache".
Don't get much better than that!

Eric,
You can go to www.lloydmaines.net and find out about Lloyd's gear. I have the black Mica Mullen SD-10 that he had from 1998-2010. He just got a brand new Red Lacquer Mullen G2 SD-10.

Thanks for the link to that site. Lloyd is a giant. He plays on a song or two from Joe Ely's new CD.
Great pictures on that site. I used to go to Coldwater all the time too, learned to two-step there. Remember Crash and Burn on Wednesday Nights?, also the Tornado Jam.
Wally Moyers Sr. was in the Maines Brothers Band, didn't know that . Pretty Cool.
