Met up with Brett Resnick, Kacey Musgraves' steel player, recently before a concert. Kacey refers to him as "Smokin' Brett" and after seeing him up close on both necks of his 2 Zum D-10s, it's an apt description. He can bring it!
He's a great guy, friendly, knowledgeable and way into steel. The future of our instrument is in good hands.

Joachim,
My favorite is her cover of a song Willy wrote, Are You Sure. I’m sure you can find the story here on the forum, but the idea for the song came from an interaction with a somewhat drunken customer at Tootsie’s while he and Buddy were sharing a beer. Ray Price recorded it and Willie listed Buddy as coauthor which meant E received royalties as well. It’s a pretty cool story.

Hey Joachim-
One from each of her 3 major releases would be
“Blowin’ Smokeâ€
“Pageant Materialâ€
“Slow Burnâ€
Her music has evolved over time but she still carries a steel.
I usually like my live music in smaller venues but ... seemed like hundreds of teenage girls and young women knew - and sang - the lyrics to almost every song! They did a nice downstage segment with just Brett’s steel, a banjo (!), doghouse bass and drum. A great show. |

You should take a look at the different costumes she has her band wear. 
Brett might just be the most seen and heard steel guitarist in the world right now.

Brett plays for Kelsey Waldon also and has some absolutely killer playing on her newest album "I've got a way." She's got a new album out Oct 19, i think, and he's on that also.
If you guys haven't checked her out, you definitely should. Solid classic country sounds. Brett's instagram is chock full of great steel content. What a player.

She's certainly a person I like. She seems to be authentic and the band is good.

I kinda get the impression she really likes his playing!

| Brett's a wonderful dude, even though he left Donelson for the bright lights of Madison, and a killer player/student of the instrument- one of the few younger dedicated palm blockers. Kacey Musgraves has a great band of players, but he really gets to open up and play with Kelsey Waldon- she's fantastic and definitely worth checking out- just signed to John Prine's record label-on a big tour at the moment with another great steeler Whit Wright. |
