Mike Fried was the steel player for Wylie and The Wild West Show for a few years and in 1996, he joined Gary Allan's band and stayed with Gary until March of 2006. Mike played a Sho-Bud until 2001, when he switched to GFI steels.

Charles; Although I mostly deal with non pedal steel players, I must say that CD is one of my all time favorites. In trying to explain the playing of the steel guitar to those just getting a start or others that love the sound of the steel guitar I try to use that CD as an example of what the steel guitar is capable of when played by someone that really knows the instrument.
The Star Trek Theme is also my favorite.

I have it. Found it in a discount rack years ago and have just about wore it out. It is all good and if you can find it today buy it. I had stumbled onto Wyile and Wild West and somehow new the two were connected. Thanks, JR
