Result of my Google search:
The steel guitar on Kitty Wells' 1961 hit "Heartbreak U.S.A." was played by Shot Jackson. Shot Jackson, a prominent steel guitar player, also played on other well-known songs and worked with many other country artists.
Could be wrong though.
Carter D10 8p/7k, Dekley S10 3p/4k C6 setup, Regal RD40 Dobro, Recording King Professional Dobro, NV400, NV112, Ibanez Gio guitar, Epiphone SG Special (open G slide and regular G tuning guitar) .

Playing for 55 years and still counting.
