I'll bet anything it's not Hal Rugg, and I don't even think that's steel. There was a guy in LA in the 80s and 90s named Jim Cox who did a scary good impression of a pedal-steel on a synthesizer, bends and all, and that sounds just like him to me.
I just looked it up on on allmusic after writing that, and sure enough Jim Cox is credited on keyboards, but no steel player. And it looks like it was recorded in LA, most of the players were LA guys, not Nashville.

| There is steel on Jeff & Sheri Easter's version of "I'll Be Home With Bells On". It could be Steve "Rabbit Easter |

Jim Cox says, "Like I always say, the session players with the longest careers aren't the ones who can play anything, they're the ones who WILL play anything." He is credited with playing steel on an Albert Lee project.

Heard this song last evening & decided to look up the steel player.
Not a difficult one to play really, if you are a half decent speed picker. Imagine my surprise when I came across this thread.
Now I'm bummed out - I thought that was steel guitar for years, especially with those speed picking signature licks.

| Jim is the nicest guy you could meet. He is a genius keyboard player and extremely versatile. His synthesizer work emulating other instruments is aided by a deep understanding of how they tend to be played idiomatically. In other words, he knows all our best licks. |

| We're doing that song again this year in our Christmas shows. I always thought it was strange but didn't even think it might not be a steel. Now that I know it I won't be able to play it like I used to. Oh well, I'm re-retiring after these last shows. |
