Rock 'n' Roll (pedal?) Steel with some teeth

I have no idea who the "Kongos" are, and don't have time to chase it right now but right at 2:28 one of them drops in a credible rocky little slide lick on a D10 Carter - Call it the "Randolph Effect" - I don't think he even uses pedals. Given the accordion that starts it, they're obviously at least a little weird.

One might hope that if he's got it lying around the house anyway....

An interesting video. The music seems to be a strange mixture of disco, cajun and folk, which works out. Cool

There's a record producer just round the corner from where I live who manages and records hip-hop and heavy metal bands. He gave me some of his CDs a month or two ago and I said that I could add some interesting pedal steels sounds to his groups. He said he would talk to them about it. I doubt if anything will come of it: anything that his groups record in the studio they would be expected to perform on the road, and at 69 the last thing I want to do is go out on the road, (and the last thing the teenyboppers would want to see is grandad sitting at the back with a weird stringy-keyboard thing.)
