A fabulous instrument in the right hands, nothing like it really.
Buddy Emmons and Lloyd Green were the governors for a long time, although now Paul Franklin seems
to be generally regarded as one of the best. Look out for his playing with Vince Gill in The Time Jumpers.
I'm fortunate to play with a great steelie, Dave Holley. He plays with my country band sometimes, and the
steel really adds another dimension.
Other UK players of note include the aforementioned BJ Cole, Gordon Huntley, Melvin Duffy
and Gerry Hogan (of Hogans Heroes with Albert Lee).
