Hey does anyone have tablature for Lloyd Green's playing on "Sweetheart of the Rodeo"?

I might as well ask all you 6-slingers for tab/hints on Clarence White's playing as well, while I'm at it.

Sorry if I'm in the wrong category- just don't know how many folks look at "Tablature" regularly- Thanks

Go to Rebel and Ricky's site for tab on Hickory Wind and a few other cuts on that album.

Chip,
Not that you may really care, but be aware that on "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo", not only one, but two, of the greatest steelers in this lifetime, like now, shared the SOTR
steel spotlight - Lloyd Green and Jay Dee Manness.

Remember this. There could be a quiz.

Lloyd Green asked me to pass along this information relating to "The Sweetheart of The Rodeo" album. This has never been printed:
Unfortunately, the steel players, J. D. Maness and myself, were never identified by song on the previous two "Sweetheart" releases. Yet a third one will shortly be out on Sony in a double CD with all the additional takes on each song, some as many as 15 or more!
I recently did an interview with David Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine, who is overseeing the historical info of this project. During the interview I furnished him with many corrections that were/are historically wrong. He has promised to correct the record. I won't explain them here except to once and for all, tell you folks who played steel on each song in that seminal album. Here goes.

You Ain't Going Nowhere - Lloyd
I Am A Pilgrim -(no steel)
The Christian Life -J.D.
You Don't Miss Your Water - J.D.
You're Still On My Mind - J.D.
Pretty Boy Floyd - (no steel)
Hickory Wind - Lloyd
One Hundred Years From Now - Lloyd
Blue Canadian Rockies - (no steel)
Life In Prison - J.D.
Nothing Was Delivered -Lloyd
You've Got A Reputation - Lloyd (on dobro)
Lazy Days - (no steel)
Pretty Polly - (no steel)
All I Have Are Memories -Lloyd & Clarence White on guitar. We both wrote this song, although 3 different writers are given credit erroneously on different albums.
For the full corrections read the Rolling Stone story when it is published or buy the newest version of the CD on Sony due out this Fall.

Thank you,
Lloyd Green

Hey thanks for the responses fellas- I'm glad I asked. If I could ever play both the steel and 6-string parts to "All I Have Are Memories", I'd take the rest of the day off and watch a ball game.

Here, here (or is it Hear, hear?), Chip, that song is sweet. Sometimes the only reason I pull out Sweetheart is to hear that one track.

Well I got this CD with the extra out take or alternate versions.
I had forgotten how much I had like this back when.

After listening to this a bit to, me it was pretty clear who played steel on what. A definite difference in tone and playing technique.

Both cool, but definitely Lloyd when he is playing.
I might not have guessed the dobro part.

But it was cool looking up this thread and seeing how close I was...

It als was curious for me because I didn't realize how many songs from this album I had played with my NYC Bluegrass band Minetta Creek Bluegrass, in the 90's. A lot of them
