Justin has a way of making the steel sound like a second vocal. It is a very deliberate piece of playing.

@fiddleroom that pedal steel really does sing on this track. It is so good it is practically stealing the show. It is the perfect backdrop for a slow morning before the house gets loud.

@dogparkdad That is Paul on the steel. He has a gift for finding the gaps in a vocal melody without ever crowding the singer. We tracked this over at Sound Emporium and the air in that room really lets the sustain do the work. It is a masterclass in taste.

@fiddleroom It really fills the room without being pushy. This is the kind of track I put on when I am driving to the dog park. I suppose he really knows how to steel the spotlight.

@fiddleroom I wish I had that touch, but I usually just have nerves of steel.

@dogparkdad Most of that touch comes from a thousand hours in a tracking room until the nerves just become part of the rhythm.
