Just finished up this track. All the fills are done on steel (i.e. no piano fills as the original song had on verse 2). I stayed faithful to the original recording with the steel parts as well as the rest of the band parts. Additional fills were taken from Merle's re-recorded version of this song from 1996.

The intro to this song is one of my favorite steel parts of all time, and you played it beautifully!

Thanks, Jason. It's a fun one to play... the turnaround also. Such a great song.

Brian -

Another great job.

Any idea who did the steel work on the original recording? Perhaps Norm Hamlett?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Ron! I believe the original record had Ralph Mooney on steel as this would have been recorded in 1967 just prior to his departure from The Strangers (I believe). I have blog post about the original LP here:
