From 1966: Ferlin Husky's "I Hear Little Rock Calling" (Capitol 5679) with Buddy Emmons playing thumb style pedal steel guitar:

Cool! Here's others from the same album I found on YouTube, great steel, although not as unusual. Can we assume they are also Buddy Emmons?

That's got to be Emmons - and another great steel guitar LP to look for:

Ferlin Husky: "I Could Sing All Night" (Capitol 2548) Buddy Emmons in 1966.

Yes, that's got to be Buddy Emmons on this album, also because the recording dates are november 15, 16 and 17 in 1965 (except for "I could sing all night long" on november 11).

Thanks for posting Robert!

I remember when I first heard that. Figured it was not
a standard guitar and Buddy was the guy doin' it as
I knew and later confirmed.

He was so far ahead of his time.
