The Wizard on the Pedal Steel - John Neff
I've really enjoyed John's playing for many, many years. John started his music path on guitar while living in Savannah, GA. John then picked up his first pedal steel and moved to Athens in 1994, where he joined the cast of Redneck Greece Delux, before becoming a founding member of Drive-By Truckers. He subsequently joined The Star Room Boys, and later joined Japancakes, before returning to work with the Truckers. Some of the other acts he worked with were Barbara Cue, The Bad Ends, The Pink Stones, Bloodkin, Grammy nominated artist Booker T Jones, Interstellar Boys, Eye Candy and several others.
Thank you so much John for the time - it was truly a pleasure to meet up with you and take a walk through your musical journey.
Swamp - this episode is for you....hope you are thriving!
