Someone sent me the audio of this album a few years ago (I no longer have it), and what stood out to me was the constant "amp tremolo" on his steel throughout the songs. The album was recorded in the early 1960s and the new tremolo effect was all the rage, evidently. Hearing that rapid tremolo on every song detracted from the recording IMO. In general, not a great record, but he did play in tune and he played mostly melody.

Champ played with Smilin' Ivan Dorey: https://nscmhf.ca/inductees/2000ivandorey.html

I read somewhere that Ivan Dorey had three steel players during his career, so this Might be Champ on this recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUM4z5qxxhw
