Some of those performers don't play steel guitar here, but act as accompanists to the steel guitarists: Wiggins is a harmonica player and singer, Linda Lay a bassist and singer, and David Lay a rhythm guitarist and singer. Probably only Cephas & Wiggins will be familiar to the general popular-music audience. The disc's chief strength is variety, representing the steel guitar as it's employed in bluegrass, blues, folk, and country music. The performances are good-natured, well recorded, and not too long on innovation; it's pleasant virtuosity, for the most part, rather than something to really make you sit up and pay close attention. There's a mixture of vocal and instrumental performances, with Linda Lay's country singing highlighting the vocal ones. Without a doubt, the most interesting performer is Bellar, who gets some super-eerie tones from a resophonic guitar on his instrumental "Northern Lights." ~ Richie Unterberger Producer: Joe Wilson, Segrid Pearson, Joe Wilson, Joe Wilson Format: CD (1 Disc); Stereo Country: USA Studio/Live: Live Release Date: 1 May, 2000 Label: Arhoolie Records Dimensions: 12.5 x 14.2 x 1 centimeters (0.11 kg)
