It's Dan Dugmore.
Red Rhodes played on Sweet Baby James and One Man Dog.

| James Taylor did one of my favorite tunes, "Bartenders Blues", George Jones did it too. Put both together and you got it "The Best Bartenders Blues" anyboby that plays it sounds good in my book. |

James wrote 'Bartender Blues'!
I think he really loves steel guitar, and he was clearly enjoying Lloyd Maines' playing on that CMT 'Crossroads' with the Dixie Chicks a while back.

I meant James! He was smiling down at Lloyd every time he hit a lick!
...and what about Jame's lyric - 'Listen to the steel guitar - don't it sound good?' on his 'One Man Dog' album?

Rodger,
I still love it either way. It's just such a good tune. I don't care if PeWee Herman did it, its the best lyrics and and chord changes they ever was.

Well, I don't know about that - Hoagy Carmichael's 'Stardust' has a bit more going for it.
It IS a good job of creating a 'generic' country song, though, and I'm sure JT was thinking of George Jones when he first conceived it. James' version (on his 1977 'JT' album, and without steel guitar) has our hero doing a passable imitation of Jones style. George didn't cover the song himself until later.

Jame's brother Livingston has also used Dan Dugmore on steel in a few of his songs. They grew up in North Carolina and probably heard alot of country while growing up.
