Pete Drake

was playing, you know, forever.

There's a good, I knew that song before, but I knew the Pete Drake cover.

He does the pedal steel.

He does a good job.

I suppose I should have known that because that ain't no hippie steel.

That's probably maybe Pete Drake or somebody.

I forget who plays the steel.

Do you know Lloyd Green? Because...

It's a different instrument, really.

Different how?

I got to do one session with Pete Drake when we went for the tryout session for Almost Blue with Billy Sherrill in Studio B where all those great records like Charlie Rich and Tammy and Blonde and Blonde were recorded and Pete Drake was on the session and I said, well, what's the other neck, do you? I see you're only playing on one neck.

He said, you mean the fun neck? And they tuned to different chords.

But, but Lloyd, um, with his, the early records on Little Darling, which were mostly Johnny Paycheck records, his sound is so, cuts through and is so wild, and then he later on just got this mellow, beautiful sound on, on the Showboat that was warmer, and he became the sound of Don Williams records and on Tammy Wynette records.

Uh, w- well, you know, him or, or Pete Drake.

And, and, um-

That's right
