Hello all. I've been listening a lot to Faron Young lately, and really loving the late 50's pedal steel playing. What other similar era country artists should I check out to hear similar style playing? I'm mainly a lap player western swing kinda guy who's coming to grips with a Fender 400.
Thanks in advance. |

Aside from those already mentioned, here are some of my favorite steel players and the artists they played with from that era:
Speedy West - Played on his own recordings with Jimmy Bryant and backed up Tennessee Ernie Ford, Kay Starr and just about everybody who recorded on capitol Records in the 50's.
Bud Isaacs - Played with Webb Pierce and Red Foley. Was a terrific non-pedal player before he invented the moving tone style.
Ralph Mooney - Buck Owens and Wynn Stewart.
Kayton Roberts - Hank Snow.
Roy Ayres - Pee Wee King
Roy Wiggins - Eddie Arnold |

| Any of the earlier Ray Price with Day ( Pride) or Emmons ,,,E T , ,,,Faron Young used some of Jernigan, & Seymour (70's) , but the Ben Keith was great(late 50's) . I usually agree with Steve Henson about everything , but add this note ,,,,Mooney stuff with Buck is almost guitar type of licks , and Hagard too. (60's) ...JF |

| Thanks everybody. What really fascinates me is the era of transition from non pedal steel to pedal steel in country music. |

One of the few modern country singers to sing in the old style is Hank Williams III. You should check him out. He's a lot more traditional than his daddy and sounds a lot like his grandpa.  |
