Arrrggghhh! I needed a music break from the news. Hope the moderators excuse this vanity in News/Activism.
The link provides a subjective list of the top 10 songs (actually 20+) with pedal steel guitar accompaniment.
Four of my favorite made this list - see below.
So how about it Freepers? Care to add your favorites to the list? Bonus points if you can name the pedal steel guitar player. Daily Double Bonus points if you have a favorite song with resophonic guitar/ Dobro accompaniment.
My choices in ascending order ...
#6 The Byrds - You Ain't Goin' Nowhere
#2 CSN&Y - Teach Your Children - Jerry Garcia
And my favorite wasn't even on this list.
The Marshall Tucker Band - Fire on the Mountain - Toy Caldwell
Sleepwalk and Midnight Diner by Santo & Johnny
Alex Chilton~Free Again
How did Marshall Tucker not make the list?
Teach your Children....CSNY (Jerry Garcia on Pedal Steel)
Also missing from the list is "In the Heart of the Night" by Poco.
I saw them many years ago in El Paso, they were the opening act for Little River Band. Great, great concert.

Poco’s “Bad Weather” made #15 on the link.
bookmark
Your #6 was played by Clarence White on his B-bender, not a pedal steel.
“Forever” by Pete Drake with his TALKING steel guitar
Glad to see the flying burrito brothers make the list
I don’t know enough about making music to recognize that sound. Would a slide guitarist like Leo Kottke be on the list? “Eight Miles High”.
Neil Young “Heart of Gold” - Ben Keith
Remington Ride (original version) Herby Remington
1952
