I saw the movie yesterday. It had several different bands and all had steel players. I saw Steve Hinson's name in the credits. Isn't he a forum member? The first song was Merle Haggard's Silver Wings. Beautiful steel fills. A very good movie by the way. Lots of drunks and hollerin. Just like the real
thing.

| Don, I just saw the movie, too, and it was refreshing to see several different steels and players on a big screen. |

The steel players hired for the club and concert band scenes in "Country Strong" were Steve Hinson (black Emmons), Chris Scruggs (single neck Fender pedal steel), Bucky Baxter (GFI) and Smith Curry (Sho-Pro). There was also a dobro player in one of the recording session scenes.
Hats off to all these musicians for playing pedal steel in a major release movie.

Also Ed Bruce's (Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys)plus many others, and as seen many times on the Nashville Country Reunion series on RFD was in a couple of scenes and lots of the movie was filmed in Austin and Dallas Texas. Go see it if ya get a chance. It's a goodun.

Posted 8 Feb 2011 11:18 am and on the recordings?
|
|
I was wondering about this too.
Does anyone know if its the same players playing on the soundtrack? Some of the tracks that I especially liked the steel on were "Chances Are" and the Trace Adkins version of "Time Changes Everything."
thanks!

|
|
| Country Strong was filmed here in the Albuquerque New Mexico Area.. Local Steel players Ron Sodos and Rick McGrath were actually hired to be filmed on 2 of the scenes even even though the soundtracks were done by session guys elsewhere.. Lucky dogs I wasn't lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time or I might have also been in the film too.... |

Of course after though and my production book, you're confusing Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges with Country Strong starring Gwyneth Paltrow! Careful as the songs are well... Nuff said! |

| I used an Emmons steel and and an old Fender Twin Reverb...Frank Liddell was the producer and he likes that sound,as opposed to the cleaner Mesa Boogie/Mosvalve sound...once he had me try my Marshall JTM-45 on a track,but it was a little TOO distorted,so we went back to the Twin...Thanks,Wayne! |

I have been playing "Chances Are" for about one hour this morning, trying to grab each nuance.
It may be next song in my band's set list.
Great job, Steve, lovely playing!
