...I went and listened to a few of the cuts on their site. I really liked "Marfa Lights", a lot of drive on that one. I also liked a number of the other cuts although I felt there were times the PSG was too far back in the mix (just my humble opinion, what do I know?).
I think this is a good example of what I would call the evolution of the PSG beyond its original roots and part of what I believe must continue to bring it more into the mainstream of instruments.
Just my 2 cents, YMMV. |

Spencer Cullum of Steelism has recently joined us at www.nashvilleprosteel.com
I just filmed his video session on Tuesday and he recorded several Steelism songs in addition to other things. He breaks down the songs and gives his insight and approach to them, including some alternate versions.
I was really impressed by Spencer, great guy as well. It was a lot of fun working with him and I encourage any of you guys to check out Steelism.
He brought in his Show Pro and ran that through a small pedalboard and into a sweet '64 Fender reverb tank before going into a vintage Fender Pro Reverb combo.
Fuzzy steel? Surf steel? Yeah baby!
Spencer's nashvilleprosteel.com debut will be sometime in May, along with some other new happenings.
P.S. Just came back from a Mike Johnson session, more great stuff coming from him too. He is sounding and playing so good these days. Crazy. |

| I saw them at last year's SXSW performing at Joe's Coffee (big outdoor stage). At first they sounded like a Grateful Dead-like mellow band. As I got closer I realized the lead instrument was a pedal steel. He was playing an old Sho-Bud Pro 1. Very nice, great intonation and phrasing. The lead guitarist was spot-on too. The crowd was loving it. No vocals except for the steel player mouthing thru the voice box (Joe Walsh style). They were doing a reggae version of the Beatles "Something." They were a nice contrast to the squawk of the festival. |
