| I'm not 100% certain, but I believe that's most likely Greg Leisz. Love that tone and the dynamic of all of Greg's recordings. Great performance from everyone on that track! |

Allmusic.com also lists Mike as the only steel player.

| Mike is the only player on the album, "Heroes" that Buddy Cannon produced. "The Scientist" cover was recorded and released before these sessions took place. The song was used in a Chipotle commercial too, then it was on Spotify and iTunes. That one song was produced somewhere else and Greg is on that track. It was included onto ,"Heroes," but it was not a main part of the Buddy Cannon sessions they did. Those all have Mike. |

| The other producers names are Doyle Bramhall and Justin Stanley. That was for,"The Scientist," and that is Greg Leisz on that particular track only. |

Discogs concurs with this: http://www.discogs.com/Willie-Nelson-Heroes/release/3799618. Greg Leisz it is. |
