I was listening to a song the other day that had some good slide guitar going on. I thought that a playlist highlighting some slide guitar, mandolin, pedal steel etc. was required.
This was a fun one to put together. There are so many excellent artists and songs out there that it was tough to cull the list. I’ve focused on getting a broad range of artists and years just to whet your appetite for a search of your own. Below is the list of instrument and musician by song (as best as I could determine!).
