From about 1958 I think. Since my last bout with losing the Big E vs Jimmy Day guess on Willie's "Things to Remember" (It was Buddy) I ain't gonna venture a guess, but...
Would anyone in the Historical Documents Department be able to tell me who played steel on this tune?
Could be either. The steel break is my current earworm....
Thanks all.

| I thought "It's A Sin" was by Eddy Arnold. |

There a few different tunes with this name.
This particular tune came on an album labeled "She Thinks I Still Care", The Complete United Artist Recordings 1962-1964

Eddy Arnold did do "It's A Sin" and the song is the same one that George did. Originally put out on UA lp "Sings The Hits of His Country Cousins" in 1962.
The lp lists no credits as per usual for that time and the album was made up of songs done in different sessions.

| I think it's Buddy, too. To me, the playing just sounds a little too complex for Jimmy's stuff of that period. |

Sure sounds like he did a nice bar slant to get that descending note....

Just my opinion, but I think it's Jimmy Day. The reason I think so is, just like the Big E, Jimmy had a distinctive tone and phrasing and the George Jones cut sounds like that tone and phrasing. If I'm not mistaken, I think Jimmy was with George Jones around the time of this recording.
Lastly, compare the playing on George's "It's a Sin" with Jimmy's album Steel and Strings, which was recorded around the same time. The tone and phrasing are very similar.
The bottom line: Regardless of who did the steel work it's the perfect complement to George's singing. 
Keep on pickin'!

I'm with Glenn. There are certain things that are so Dayish in the tone and phrasing.
