Who is this Steel Player?

Post by Gary Wessels »

Anyone know who this is on steel with Jesse Daniel? He's solid.

This entire series of videos from LR Baggs is worth a watch.

If I had to guess, I would say it’s Muskrat Jones getting that sweet Sho-Bud to sing like that.

And thanks for the tip on LR Baggs, Gary.

Met him in Lubbock , TX at the Blue Light Live last summer.

Caleb is beyond belief sometimes. Not many can cleanly play what Weldon played on Connie Smith song; but he does>

Caleb is from Bakersfield CA or close to, but I think he is still in Austin.

Check out Jesse Daniel's new album and all the prior ones, you will love them!

Ricky, I agree...I am very impressed by his tone, composition, and near perfect execution.
Looking forward to hearing Caleb on many more recordings..

No; Dicky's LDG is still under DG's(Donna) Wing.
But Caleb's LDG is indeed a 1st year LDG like Mine; Lloyd's; Dicky's....and Caleb ONLY seems to be playing just it now....So Proud of that boy.

Just wanted to pull this back up to mention that Jesse Daniel with Caleb Melo on steel were up for best song of the year at SavingCountrymusic.Com, one of the best releases this year and such fine playing by Caleb on his LDG Sho~Bud.

Congrats, and have a Happy New Year, check them out, worth the time. Here’s my favorite from the album
