I think it was Emmons on "Sweet Dreams" by Faron Young. This is what the pedal steel's all about. |

Marshall Tucker's Fire On The Mountain. That got me hooked on steel before I knew what a steel was. |

I,m not sure about the best intro ,but maybe the harder one for me to figure out is I think Weldon Myrick on Connie Smith's " Cry,Cry,Cry" I,m new to psg,and are looking forward to learning this type of stuff. |

When The Tingle Becomes A Chill by Rugg. When I was first learning steel I searched all over the neck for this one. Then Loretta came through town and Bobby Hempker showed me the lick with B&C and the chromatics. Thanks Bobby. I hadn't thought of this in years until this thread. |

Buddy Emmons into on "Touch My Heart". All of Buddy's intros are my favorites; however, this is my all time favorite. ------------------ |

Mark I agree with you on Highway 40 Blues - seeing your post I just put it on the stereo for the first time in ages. What a great album - that goes for all Ricky Skaggs stuff as far as I'm concerned. The mandolin solo is also incredible. Mick |

Jimmy Day: E.T.'s "Thoughts of a Fool"; Charlie Walker's "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down"; Willie Nelson's "Things To Remember"/"Funny How time Slips Away"; Johnny Bush's "Farewell Party"/"An Eye For An Eye"; Ray Price's (well, about everything)! I think this could go on awhile, so I better stop! |

David stole my favorite intro, Curley's knocked out one on "I love you because" of Carl Smith. On the old Bill Anderson TV show of about 1970 or so, Curley was there with Carl and he did it live and I sure wish we could get a copy of that. Bill asked him who his steel player was and Carl said it was the foremost steel player in the world and had all the money, which we knew he didn't but it was a beautiful show with up-close camera work on both songs that Carl sang, Thanks David, Gary |

I think several of the Intro's on Johnny Bush's Sounds of A Heartache album by James Clayton Day are among the finest ever done by any one. Farewell Party is one of them and also the Title cut, Sounds of A Heartache |

Though it's probably not one of the greats, I love the introduction that John Hughey plays to All Those Years by VInce Gill. |

"Talk Back Trembling Lips" from Porter Wagoner's "In person" album. The steel player (who is he?) coolest tone I've heard in a long time . . the amp is really breaking up and soundin' good. |

My favorite steel intro is "This Ain't No Thinkin' Thing" by newer country artist, Trace Adkins. I also love steel parts in this song called "Daddy's Money" by great country band, Ricochet, and also Ricochet's "Love Is Stronger Than Pride" Way to go, Teddy! Brett, Emmons S-10 |

I vote no on "Teach Your Children". Too simple and thin. "Night Life" is my all time favorite for C6th. "Look at Us" and "Farewell Party" are my votes for E9th. Question: I've always been under the impression that Sonny Garrish did Farewell Party. ------------------ |

There is absolutely no way for me to pick a favorite intro. There is just too many great ones! Smiley- That counterpoint, that we all copied later. Start with A pedal down and 2nd string D# down to C# , then slowly let up on them both, Wow!....There was sure a lot of good ones..........al |

All the above! Plus a couple more: did anyone mention the classic intro to Charley Pride's "All I Have to Offer You is Me" (Lloyd Green, I presume?) or what about ol' Junior tone-to-the-bone Brown, on PEDAL steel, with his intro to "A Way to Survive"? Tim R. |

Oops, I almost forgot........ who could forget Sonny Garrish's intro on Red Steagall's My first night Without You(I think that's the name of the song) It's off of Red's album Under the X in Texas. Maybe Wayne Yakes can clear that up if I'm wrong ( good possibility) |

I go with the Big E's intro on Touch My Heart. There have been many great intros over the years, probably too many to really pick ONE. In recent years Paul Franklin and John Hughey have come up with some keepers. |

I watched Buddy Charlton kick off "Through That Door" live in about 1960 and that one comes to mind. I don't know if he or Emmons was the one who recorded it with Earnest Tubb but it was a great intro I thought. When "Another Bridge To Burn" came out I did not have the E lowers on my homemade guitar and when we were going to play it I had to tune my 8th string down to Eb so I could play that intro and solo. That song caused me to add the lever to lower the E's. I think that was a great one also. Jerry |

One of my favorites that no one else has mentioned is Lloyd Green on "The Day the World Stood Still" (Charley Pride). It is subtle yet extremely pretty. It is also deceptively easy sounding. |

For somethin' a little different, how 'bout Pete Drakes intro on George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord". Buddy's "Someday Soon" or just for some original stuff how about Rusty Young's work on Buffalo Springfield's "Kind Woman". |
