This is one of the great steel guitar tunes, IMO, recorded by the legendary Buddy Emmons with Little Jimmy Dickens. I recorded my version of it the other night while the rest of the family was in Dreamland.
Todd Clinesmith built this super fine 8 string lap steel out of walnut. To me, it sounds and plays beautifully. It's designed based on paul Bigsby's D-8 lap steel that was played by Joaquin Murphey. Mine is 1/2 of that. I played it through a Fender Princeton Reverb. The other instruments are Fender Tele, Michael Dunn acoustic guitar, Kay upright bass and a suitcase for a drum.
