The View from TUS: Pedal Steel Heroes
10 Jul
People frequently ask me who some of my favorite pedal steel players are. There are three whose playing informs almost everything I do… from the beautiful chording of the legendary Ralph Mooney, to the perfect single-note melodies of Ben Keith, to Daniel Lanois’ unique ambient
explorations. It’s an incredible, versatile instrument that I’m constantly proud to be playing.
