Yesterday, I was working on an old Elektra album from 1970, mostly consisting of pedal steel covers of popular tunes of the time but with a few original songs thrown in. The album was a compilation of various artists, and one player I was really digging as I listened to it was a gentleman named Buddy Emmons. I haven’t had a chance to explore more of his stuff yet, but I did look up some information about him. He was considered one of the world’s foremost pedal steel players of his day, having played with a number of great artists through the years, one of which was Willie Nelson.
