I can't get enough of Vince Gill's "Look At Us". That steel part is so beautiful. What are some other greats in you opinion by John Hughey?

Look for his solo album "On and off stage". One of the best steel albums ever recorded, but may be hard to find these days.

Conway Twitty's, Lost In The Feeling With You.
I was at a steel show in Washington, Pa. several years ago. At his booth, Someone asked Mr. Huey his favorite song he recorded.
Mr. Huey just grinded and said, "Lost In The Feeling".

Mr. Huey definately has that special Talent that not many have. He brings out the emotion of a song like no other in my opinion. I guess I just like his Attack and Style.

There's an intro/solo that John played on a song that Vince recorded called "A Real Lady's Man". It's probably one of my all-time favorite steel intros/solos The song is featured on Vince's "When Love Finds You" record, which was released in 1994. Even though "Real Lady's Man" wasn't released as a single, it still features great steel by John. I'm a fan of "Lost In The Feeling" too. Another song on Vince's "When Love Finds You" is "Which Bridge To Cross, Which Bridge To Burn" and it also features another great steel solo by John, and in 1992, John also played the intro and solo to "This One's Gonna Hurt You For A Long Long Time", a hit single for Marty Stuart and Travis Tritt in 1992, and then the steel work he did on "Yard Sale" by Sammy Kershaw.

My all time favorite John Hughey is on Vince Gill’s “There’s Not Much Love Here Anymore.” Also check out Ronnie Milsap’s “20-20 Vision” and George Jones’ “Come Home to Me.”

The first John Hughey thing that hit me and made me want to play Steel was on Cal Smiths, Hello Mrs Johnson ... after that would be the intro and break on I've Just Destroyed The World, which I thought was beyond cool.
