I love pedal steel; fiendishly difficult to play well and in tune (10-strings, twice, weird tuning, fretless, and a wiggle stick rear-end where most of the strings can be bent separately . . . . . yikes !), but really serves a purpose like a Hammond in filling up a lot of air when comping.
This is a great performance of a transcription of Elton's 'Blue Eyes' that was originally done by the legendary Buddy Emmons on one of the 'Steel Swining' projects with Ray Pennington. This just slays me every time I hear it.
