They're out there. Nashville just ain't playing them. There's a really good outlaw movement going on right now. Get you one of the streaming apps. Spotify is what I use. It will suggest artists by style. Just start going through the suggested artists.
There's basically three categories of country right now.
What Nashville pushes. Straight garbage
Texas Red Dirt. Which has some good artists.
The outlaws. Which is the country I listen to most. If I'm listening to country.

I played with a steel player once who was playing with Ray Price but I can't remember his name. I remember his face and that he was a slender fellow. Other than that I couldn't tell you anything about him. Kind of the way it's always been when it comes to musicians, just two ships passing in the night.





Bob, next time you post a Merle song I have a request;
"Looking for a place to fall apart".
Easy song in A,D, and E.
Heck, most of Merle's songs were just A,D, and E.

Steel players name is Gary Woodall who also plays bass and he is a slender guy.

Hey Icepick, how many different people did you meet that claimed to have written the song �Tequila�? I played professionally too.

The name was Day.

Excellent song Bob. Good to see you are out on parole.

Got to see him once. what a voice, so smooth.

Junior Knight is one of the better steel players around, Gary Pogue was also an excellent one until he passed away.
