I never expected him to bring up Kayton Roberts considering how everyone seems to have forgotten the master. You always hear about Byrd, Helms, Remington etc. but barely anyone brings up amazing and innovative players like Kayton Roberts, Jim Murphy and Reece Anderson. I have always considered Chris (and Andy Gibson back in the 2000s) as a follower of Kayton's style - especially considering how his whole setup is exactly the same as Kayton's. Kayton and Jim changed my life and I never hesitate to bring it up. Helms was the first one I ever heard, but hearing Jim play made me a steel player. Never forget about your heroes!

I saw Chirs with Marty's band. He's incredible.

Speaking of Ray Price, hopefully some day you can hook us uo with a Steve Palousek interview, I'm enjoying these!

I first remember hearing Dugmore on the Clinton Gregory records in the early 90's, been a fan ever since.

Wow! Totally amazing information.

Got to meet Bruce once in Oklahoma when he was with Foster & Lloyd - super nice guy and a excellent Steel guitarist.

Please interview Wayne Dahl

I hope this is Part 1 of AT LEAST 4 👏👏👏

“because CHA-CHING” 🤣🤣🤣

Hot damn, this is an amazing interview! Nice to have some Pro-Jerry comments! Big E and Ray on the bus = 🤯🤯🤯!!! Johnny Bush forever!!!

I've been out of the loop for quite some time. Serious health issues hit and I had to sell my LeGrande 2, amps, bunch of other guitars and amps. Watching this really makes me miss playin' psg...

THE PROFESSOR!!

'Finally got around to watching this. Such great insights, and I love Eddy's open to exploring all the musical possibilities. 'Great hearing you guys.

Steve is a wonderful guy to have as a friend, first. He is a walking encyclopedia of Country music, and he is as talented and intuitive as they come. A monster musician and person. Listen to him and learn, boys and girls. We go back 50 years. I love the guy, truly.

Love these interviews, Russ! More, please!

Awesome interview; great stories -- what a career! Thanks Russ and Bruce!

Pearls of wisdom and wonderful interview. Thank you for all your posts. Bruce is indeed awesome. I would like to hear the story on his building a rack and then ditching the idea. Like every steel player I'm less than satisfied with my tone and equipment and explore or chase the trends of the pros I see, only to find they too switch gear often. Please do a series on how and why you and other great players are using gear in your live and recording sessions.

Thoroughly appreciate you both for this conversation!

Really appreciate you gents for having this conversation. Insightful and reassuring as a ‘new’ PSG player. The gems from the advice Bruce received over the years are also super helpful as well. Thanks again!

I didn’t know there was a youtube channel called this. I subscribed immediately.

Thanks for the great video Russ and Bruce!

So many pearls of wisdom there. Finding a place in the room and don't be a jerk... two things I struggled with from time to time.

Smooth!

Awesome video! Bruce, I have always loved your steel playing. Saw you with Ray, Ricky, and Bobby in the 80’s. That band was great!

Love the stories. Keep them coming.

Terrific interview and content! Keep up the outstanding work!

Good interview Eddie ,great answers to some hard questions .

Such a tremendous interview and self reflection. Thanks again for these great interviews.

Such an excellent series and resource for us lovers of pedal steel, thanks again for another sit down with a Nashville Legend! Also, if you’re reading this, please subscribe! They’re almost to 1k subs y’all!

Brilliant interview. Bruce is one of my faves!

Thank you, Russ and Bruce!

Hey y’all! Bruce, I’m a steel player near Richmond VA and heard great things of your early days playing while you were at VCU! Heard (hearsay, not sure if it’s fact) that you hit the road in 6 months of playing steel ? That’s impressive! Hope to meet you one day, trying to get to Nashville one day (or at least join a group based out of there) and live the road musician life ! I’m prob the only guy in Richmond that plays ALL over the place Just yesterday 6/20/24 I was at a RnB/blues/jazz jam playing with those guys and Is always a great experience! They enjoyed it too ! Great interview!!

Great stuff. Pedal Steel is the most interesting instrument of all time

Thanks! ya'll!

The Master! Doesn't get any better than that.

Thank you very much from up in Michigan.

What great stories!

Wow … thank you, sirs!

Steve Hinson is the coolest of cool!! Thanks for the interview!!

i love the head shake from Russ when Chris starts tellin' how things were played, who played them, what year they did it, who else was in the room and what colour their shirts were and where they played the day b4 and if they were still warin' that shirt!!! lolol!!! ;) M

I play guitar- not steel, but man, I found this fascinating. So cool to witness some masters diving into the craft. Thank you for this!

russ and mike cass showed up at one of my gigs one night. i should have been paid triple for the extra stress.

🍀🍀🍀

I asked Bill Dearmore (Gene Watson Steel Man)to play Farewell party on my Mullen one day at a lesson and he reached up and pulled the 1st string with his finger.Id never seen that before. His Zum prob had that pull on it.

Man.I wish I had tracked Chris down when I moved to town in 97-99.He and I share a lot of the same personalities.

My first REAL steel player actually played w/out picks on some tunes.

Thanks Russ! 🍀

VERY VERY VERY 😎 KOOL

Is there any instrument Chris hasn't mastered? His knowledge of the history of the instruments and country in general is incredible.

The sound is all in the high-mids.
