This last year, I have been working hard to get my pedal steel playing integrated in the music of my blues-rock cover band. Then, this fall we recorded a couple of songs illustrating our new style. We also have a new young girl singer contributing to the updated vibe of our band. On these tracks I play my Sho-Bud Pro II Custom guitar through a home-built Vibroclone amp. I also do some Leslie-sounding rhythm guitar. Hope you like it.

Wow! Thanks for all the nice comments. Seems like we're on the right track sound-wise. Guess I can continue spreading the pedal steel gospel some more in my (blues-)conservative little band. -- Jan ------------------ |

So you ended up with RD's Blue Darlin'?! Cool. I love the organ-style comping with the Leslie effect on Route 66! Vad COOL! |

You're just too kind! I've forwarded your comments to my band members and they send a collective 'Thanks' to all of you. Now we're in the process of sending demo-CDs all over the country in search of some pedal-steel-promoting gigs. -- Jan ------------------ [This message was edited by Jan Jonsson on 15 November 2005 at 06:46 AM.] |
