I kind of went on a Son Volt bender last night and was reminded how amazing Eric Haywood’s pedal steel playing is. I’ve seen him live many times with various acts and his playing always stood out to me. Richard Buckner did an entire album covering the poetry of Edgar Lee Masters called The Hill and I got to see him perform it in an intimate setting when it released (back in the day) and Haywood’s performance was incredible. Anyway here’s a cool little interview with him. He’s played on some great records…

@SKT we love Son Volt and everything in that network of alt country. Good call on the steel.

@Matt and anyone else you shared my annoyance at this one not being on Spotify

Fantastic! Thank you.

Curious as to how the guitar players in this thread rate him.

SKT

@Jett129 I’m a shit electric player but I think he sounds pretty good and they’re definitely having fun. I’m more enamored with the 3 distinct hair styles on display and cousin Ramone on the Hofner

I revisit this one from time to time - every one of these guys is freakishly talented

SKT

@GraemeE that’s fantastic. I’m always in awe of Chris Thile’s talent and I love Critter too. Here’s another…Nickel Creek’s Tiny Desk. The last instrumental song is a favorite of mine

@scooter to me he was always just the guy who sang the wonder years theme song and " up where we belong" until I watched the documentary a few years ago....gained a new respect after learning more about his career
