"The Score" is another great tune off Weldon Henson's "Honky Tonk Frontier" CD - traditional country at it's best. That's Ricky Davis on steel - honky tonk deluxe! Lots of great steel intros, licks, and breaks on the whole album.
Here's a look at the intro and break. They both kick off with a way cool "ear twister" by Ricky D. Comments and questions always welcome. Enjoy the music!
Here it is on youtube. The break starts at 1:35.

I checked with Ricky D and the first staff below is the way he played the counterpoint passage at 3:22. Nice! - you'll need your wide grip
While I was trying to figure this out, I came up with the counterpoint exercise on the second staff. It's got a cool reverse to forward slant and I thought the descending bass notes on strings 6 thru 10 were fun to play. Note: E lever lowers string 2 1/2 tone
