That sounds right and another great country singer: Larry Steele. A good lesson in different steel guitar styles. It sounds like Big Jim Murphy is playing his ZB - like on the YouTube clips of him backing Carl Smith on "Deep Water" and "Red Door." (I couldn't find those clips - they must have been removed)

The SGF has become a great place to unearth and recognize these great but sometimes obscure singers, songs and pedal steel parts. Country Music has a deep bench.
