Love this video, music, them... Watch this at least once @ day. I'm 71 yrs. young. >wink< This man's music makes me younger everyday. Can't sit still while he's playing, therefor tis my exercise music. LoveYa Family Band... Thanks SOOOo much.
I agree. I have watched them perform and they have other "family members" who play as guests in a little different style that are wonderful. They were just recently here and got rave reviews.
Did anyone notice that he's not actually playing the music that is coming out in this video? Most of the time when they show him playing, it's actually a guitar playing!
@bausin You obviously do not realize that that is, in fact, a guitar that he is playing. It is called a 'Pedal Steel Guitar'. It consists of a guitar neck(sometimes two, but in this case, one) inverted horizontally and modified with pedals similar to that of a piano. So, yes, the guitar sounds you are hearing are indeed coming from that admittedly strange looking instrument.
@bambam111992 I have played both guitar and pedal steel professionally. Anyone with a decent ear can distinguish between the two. You apparently cannot.
@bausin Any instrument can be played in unique ans surprising ways. For a great example, look up the album "Passion and Warfare" by Steve Vai. He makes some sounds that one would never expect to come from a guitar. I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I AM saying that you shouldn't take such a Pharisaical view on the subject. No one is all knowing, that includes both me and yourself. I was merely playing devil's advocate.
From 2:00 to 2:16 where it shows him doing all kinds of crazy stuff on the steel, it is a guitar playing. The steel solo starts at 2:16, at 2:32 he gets up from the steel, but the steel continues playing without him. That's what I'm talking about.
I only heard about this artist recently via a friend. I like this band, alot. Never heard anyone play a pedal steel in this fashion, and it sounds great. Thumbs up!
Sounds a lot like DC Talk (and that's a good thing).
I can't believe I just discovered RRFB. But, I'm not surprised they're not known nationally... it's live party music, not radio music. A lot like JJ Grey & Mofro.
I'm living my life just for the thrill of it!!! It doesn't have to make sense... Tomorrow is never guaranteed! Living my dream... Awsome! Feels so good
@fairyBELIEver16 It's called a Steel Pedal Guitar, I had to look it up. It looks like it's easy to play, although so does a normal guitar and it is not easy
