I mean the chicken picking in the chorus. The track may have been recorded in Nashville.

| I hear what you are talking about right at the end, but I think it's just the electric guitar I'm hearing throughout most of the song. It sounds like a Telecaster on the bridge pickup to me. Though that short, bent note in the lick could be done on a steel, it could as just as easily be done with a guitar. I'm listening through the cheap speakers in my laptop, so I could be missing something, but that is what I think. |

But it sounds more "sustainy" than a guitar to me Don.

| Her compilation album "Best of the Vanguard Years" with songs from that era lists Hal Rugg and Lloyd Green in the credits. Red Rhodes also recorded with her. |

The album that the song is off of, lists no steel guitar player among the credits. Could very well just be a guitar. I don't hear much sustain in the playing.

It would be hard to tell who was better.

| For starters, all of the sounds with the exception of a lead guitar on one track and a rhythm section employed on three of the last four selections are completely synthesized from the voice and guitar of Sainte-Marie herself. There are tracks whose vocals are completely electronically altered and seem to come from the ether -- check out "Mary" and "Better to Find Out for Yourself" as a sample. |

There's something about the tonality that says pedal steel. But a crafty Teleslinger could probably do it.
I don't mean the bends, any guitar picker could play the notes, but the tones sound like pedal steel. Or a guitar trying to sound like one.
I, for one, dig it. Thanks for sharing.

Me too Lane. When I was playing lead way back when, I spent all my practicing trying to sound like Tom Brumley. Once the steel sound gets in your head ,seems like u want every lick to sound like psg, or maybe that's just me, meh.....Stormy  |

My ear tells me it is pedal steel, and I can certainly imagine Hal doing it.

Maybe the song was a leftover from "I'm Gonna Be A Country Girl Again" album which was recorded before. At least it explains the banjo, that got no credits on the album.
