Only Buddy Emmons "Black Album" comes close to this album. Most soulfull steelplaying there is.

I been listening to so much Pedal steel guitar the last months and got a little tierd of it in away at times,but listening to Jimmy Day dont make me think or feel Pedal steel guitar. Its just plain JIMMY DAY SOUL From the HEART.Thats what i call to get ahead of the instrument.Its Jimmy`s deep inner Voice we are listening to, not somebodys "Playing" an Instrument. Nobody can sing a ballad like Old Jimmy.

@BarnacleBillsBastard , Jimmy used pedals on this as well as bar slants. IIRC, he was playing a double 8 string Sho~Bud on this. ie the steel had 2 necks. Jimmy played this album on the outside neck with a D9th tuning which later became the 10 string E9th chromatic tuning. The inside neck was a C6th. I don't think he had any knee levers just the basic three pedal "Day" set up which is a reverse order of the "Emmons" setup. Just goes to show you don't need 5-8 knees to play good steel :-)

At least I think he was using slant bar here & imitating pedal.

[BarnacleBillsBastard]

He didn't even use pedals either. He just used slant bar.
