I love the Patsy version, but this is totally Awesome. I love his songs, but who played steel?

I'd bet on Pete Drake, especially on this other cut from that album: Another tune from the album

In the Peter Drake credits there is no mention of sessions with Harlan Howard??

I usually can't tell, but some of it sounds like some stuff Hughey did with Conway.

Dan:
The song you listed a link for is not on the LP that I Fall To Pieces is. It was done in 1967 on RCA LP entitled "Mr Songwriter".

This is the back cover of the 1965 Monument LP on which "I Fall To Pieces" can be found.




No musician credits listed on it. Too bad!!!

On the Harlan Howard recording 0:25 you will hear the almost identical same lick as the one played at approximately 0:49 on this Lefty Frizzell recording:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Msn-tlodMo

The song also ends with this lick. In either Lefty's autobiography or the book that comes with the Bear Family boxed set it states that the the steel player on Lefty's recording was Pete Drake. After researching a little and listening, my money is on it being Pete Drake on the Harlan Howard recording.

Here's a pretty complete list of Harlan Howard sessions. It mentions Pete a couple of times, but not as playing on that particular song although chances are, it was probably him.
