Linda Ronstadt - Long Time at the Plant

Post by C. Eric Banister »

I'm listening to this album on Spotify and it is a 1973 Radio broadcast. I know on the albums around this time she used a few different steelers (Sneaky Pete, Emmons, Weldon), but does anyone know who would have been playing with her live on this recording?

I posted too soon, before listening all the way through. At the end they said it was Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. I wasn't aware he recorded any pedal steel!

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; praise is meet for the upright. Give praise to the Lord with the harp, chant unto Him with the ten-stringed psaltery. Sing unto Him a new song, chant well unto Him with jubilation. For the word of the Lord is true, and all His works are in faithfulness. The Lord loveth mercy and judgement; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
- Psalm 33:1-5

Thanks, John! I had heard all of these but never thought about who was playing for some reason,
