This is absolutely beautiful. No instrument can capture melancholy like the steel guitar. Even if it's in an upbeat song, there is a hint of sadness, but in a good way.
Country music was built on this type of sound and should go back to it. Country performers today should be ashamed to call themselves country musician.
This steel guitar playing reminds me so much of my daddy’s steel guitar playing. He could hear a song once and play the song in it’s entirety, then would record himself playing alongside the original track on a reel-to-reel. He would play it and record it on a cassette tape for listening to while on road trips to visit my grandparents in S. GA. Ain’t nothing prettier than a steel guitar solo in the middle of a song. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories of my daddy, Ronald E. Rigg (1937-1999).
@John Herb Yes, it is in a league of of it’s own. Today, there might be 1,000 guitarists and maybe 100 pedal steel guitarists in a group of 1 million musicians..Out of both kinds of the guitarists, there might be 10% who are really great. Btw, my daddy also played the harmonica well, but his steel guitar playing was way better. What’s a real shame is that Tony Browne passed away this year. So that the number of greats has dropped again.
I agree. My dad played the same way as your father. My dad had a chance to be the steel guitar player, for Bob Wills. No better instrument than the steel guitar.
It warms the heart knowing that there are still musicians out there who are playing this style, and also that there are over 2 millions people who have watched this vid .. Whether we play country, blues, classical, hard rock, metal, rock-a-billy, jazz, etc, we're all bonded by this love of the guitar , and the obsession with string gauge, tube amps, picks/finger picks/no picks, vintage gear and the lifelong quest for THAT tone ...
It was a sad day when I found out that Mr. Tony Browne passed. I only found his steel playing about a year ago. He sure knew how to make that steel sing. RIP Mr. Browne.
@@bobberry5881 It is true, I went to his web site and it showed that it was for sale. I did some more digging and found another site on steel guitar news and it stated there that he had passed in August I believe. I forgot to list what site I found it on as I was kind of shocked by it.
@@bobberry5881 In Memory Of Tony Browne : The Steel Guitar Forum bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=360510&sid... A beautiful song, to remember Tony Browne. So sad, to hear of his passing. He was one of my favorite, steelers. Peace be with you.
Dear Deana, How I too would love to hear Christian hymns played with a steel guitar, twin fiddles, perhaps a dobro, etc. No one likes CW music at my church, so I’ll have to wait until we all gather up yonder. 🤔👍🙏✝️ Joke: What’s the difference between a violin & a fiddle? 🤔
You are right. Its not country without it. I tried for a few years to play one. I am a multi instrumentalist but the pedal steel is amongst the hardest to master. Such a BEAUTIFUL American country sound. You can't beat it. Should be "" in the steel guitar we trust" because??????? It represents you!! Pete
Tony, everytime I get depressed I come to utube and listen to your great music, Your music is the way country music should be, YOU are really inspiring, I wish O could play just like you!!!!
Just listened to this last night and I must say, your version Mr. Browne, far exceeds any I've ever heard. The melody is beautiful on its own but your pedal work is masterful and the sounds you get are the VERY best I've heard from any steel player. Now I'll spend today listening to your other offerings on RUclips. Thanks Mr. Browne.
I am a 60's/70's Rock and Roll kid but I really enjoy country music and the steel slide guitar sound. Well done my friend. Thank you YT algorithm for sharing a wonderful 11 year old video. Who said algorithms are runing our lives?
This is way nice. So glad to have come across this. I love that era of Country Music. It is the best, and Tammy was a defining star, along with George. Thanks for sharing this. I will check out your website.
Absolutely the most beautiful steel guitar piece I've ever heard!!! My real Dad used to play the steel with my Mom (on guitar and accordion) in bands and on radio years ago in California~
Steel guitar is so relaxing music to me..I was blessed that I had a MOM, that played Steel guitar..Now she's in heaven playing with the 😇 angels..She also had an all girl country band in her days...miss you MOM AND LOVE YOU..
Back in the early 1970s I use to walk by Ernest Tubb’s shop on Broadway in Nashville and they always had a pedal steel sitting in the window, loved the crying steel sound
I wish I could play this instrument so much! The most painful songs have the most beautiful and haunting steel guitar solos. Your steel guitar skills are the best of the best!
This is one of the better clips of a peddle steel guitar in operation, where we can see all the movements and coordination needed to produce the beautiful music. It's not enough to just see the hands as most people often don't realise just how much more is going on below the fretboard.
Uncle Eddie Yasso played gospel songs in Rockhampton shopping mall, the shop keepers closed their doors. When he played Amazing Grace and Old Rugged Cross shop doors opened up the owners and customers all came and stood watching this grand old gentleman playing his pedal steel. Few oldies got teared up. Moran bar shopping centre, town park Innisfail the list goes on. RIP.❤💪👍👏
What a brilliant musician not enough hours in the day to listen to you and that amazing sound thanks tony pity you don't put all these lovely tunes on CDs
Incredible dexterity along with many hours of practice to be able to play pedal steel guitar this well. Even more so when it's played so 'silky smooth' in this fine example of Tony's rendition of this song. Great playing. Cheers!
Excellent performance! If I could learn to play one string instrument, that would be it. It has a human voice quality that moves me for some reason. I have played the Hammond B3 for close to 50 years now and I am not afraid of instruments with pedals!
I had just listened to Tammy sing Crying Steel Guitar and searched this version out. You and Dave Hartley are my favorites. Thank you for making this so fine! Happy Trails from Florida
This is beautiful, Mr.Browne. I love the sound of a steel guitar, especially this slower-rolling pace. It brings back so many memories of the days gone by. May god bless you sir.
Tony Browne you're sho bud sounds good... I got a GFI Ultra and an old session 400 using analog delay and got the sound I wanted love your playing also brother thank you
Wow. This brings back some memories. Memories of things/times when it seemed like life wasn't as complicated. In listening to this it makes me think that in some small way that I'm trying to recapture my youth.
Hi Tony, just wanted you to know I've been listening to your Steel playing for some time now and I love your style of playing! I love listening the Steel Guitar. Keep up the great job! You are an awesome Steel player! Crying Steel Guitar is one of my favorites, along with many more. Sue Jenkins
Just loved this so much I love the sound it is so embracing if you think about it. Your Awesome Tony. You must have played for the big stars as you are a star yourself. Beautiful thank you so much for making my day.
Was is Nashville last September from glasgow went for my late dad he loved the possum g jones m haggard waylon all had huge electric steel guitar input to their incredible vocals will never leave me love them all
Dave is one of the finest steel pickers. His transitions up and down the neck are spot on. If it gets your attention, its not the tune selection. With John on the Telecaster playing alongside it transcends most of what we have heard previously. Some seem upset because many àre unfamiliar with his work. He could plày alongside anyone. He plays where he chooses.
Hey John, Ken here. Long time no talk. Missing you everyday and all the times we spent in that old truck kissing each other. I still play the steel guitar and still have the same hot licks I did back in the day. DM me if you want to reunite.
Ah the master himself ,as always tony you bring pleasure into my heart just to hear you play the easy way that you do so weii ,each time i hear you it's a blessing thanks tony .cheers brian
Country music needs this back!!!
Definitely!
Yes it does
I so miss the cry of the Steel guitar such a beautiful classic sound that country is missing today it needs to get back to its roots
This is absolutely beautiful. No instrument can capture melancholy like the steel guitar. Even if it's in an upbeat song, there is a hint of sadness, but in a good way.
Such a bluesy instrument but it’s just soooo goooood
Country music was built on this type of sound and should go back to it. Country performers today should be ashamed to call themselves country musician.
exactly
Good country music died with George Jones and Merle Haggard... Now I call it Suburban Pop...
@westbender 820 Today's so-called Country music is assembly line, soul-less manufactured crap...what I call soccer Mom suburban Pop.
Bob vansplinter check out Jon Pardi
AGREE! Yup. That would show them! But they have not listened before, wishful thinking.
From California here... not from the country at all... but I just love this sound... something about it warms my heart... 🥲

Avacarho, Thanks for sharing your very touching story from your heart. May your father rest on peace! ✝️🙏😌
I am young and learning, been playing guitar for a while and the art is definitely not dead so far.
I agree. My dad played the same way as your father. My dad had a chance to be the steel guitar player, for Bob Wills. No better instrument than the steel guitar.
I could listen to this all day long instead of that pop shit they call country
and that CRAP or Country Rap
Robert Stiles I called the staff that's coming out of Trashville exactly what it is.....more pop music I totally agree with you
Do u like Cody Johnson? He’s a new artist but he actually makes real country music. It’s not pop
Today's so called country music musicians don't even know what a steel guitar is.
faceman2556 if you want to hear some true country music in this age listen to Dayrle Singletary
Steel guitar has such a fantastic sound when played right.. relaxing
Oh yeah that's for sure, blessings
It warms the heart knowing that there are still musicians out there who are playing this style, and also that there are over 2 millions people who have watched this vid ..

THANK YOU TONY BROWN, FOR THE MOST BEATEFUL BEAUTFUL COUNTRY MUSIC ,SINCERLY MICHAEL B.
Lord, just rips your heart out...it's what country is all about...REAL Life...superbly done by Tony Browne...thank you sir.

Two instruments that really get into your soul- the steel guitar and the bagpipes.
Yes indeed. I would like to add the saxophone, if I may.
it seems everyone has an instrument that reaches their soul. everyone is beautifully differant
yes it does and thoes are my favorite instuments
Love the sound of bagpipes in the morning. What's better is a parade of bagpipes and drummers together.
Lose the badpipes
It was a sad day when I found out that Mr. Tony Browne passed. I only found his steel playing about a year ago. He sure knew how to make that steel sing. RIP Mr. Browne.
I didn't know he passed,sure hope that isn't true.

Sad to hear, he’s playing in heaven
COUNTRY should sound like this!!!!!!!!
This is exactly how country sounds:-) It's still here. Enjoy it!
That's what it sounded like 50 years ago
I've always loved this instrument. Uncle used to have one. Only need someone who could play this in church services singing country gospel❤🌹
Dear Deana, How I too would love to hear Christian hymns played with a steel guitar, twin fiddles, perhaps a dobro, etc. No one likes CW music at my church, so I’ll have to wait until we all gather up yonder. 🤔👍🙏✝️
Joke: What’s the difference between a violin & a fiddle? 🤔
From what I gather it’s takes a musical genius to play one of these. It takes both hands, feet, and knees.
Sounds like a copter pilot...............
@@dwightdodd3734 Now that is the ultimate compliment to helicopter pilots! You are da man Dwight!!! 😁👍🚁🚁🚁
Takes me back to being a kid. My grandad played a steel way back then. Thanks for sharing, taking me back for even a few minutes.
Beautifully done! Can’t believe anyone would give a thumbs down to that incredible performance. Nicest rendition I’ve ever heard, thank you! 👍👍
What Tammy Wynette song is this?
There is not any country music much anymore.just pore copies, where is the song writers, gone pop is not country.?out
Country music back when. Beauty is in the ears of the beholder, and this is gorgeous.
You are right.
Its not country without it.
I tried for a few years to play one.
I am a multi instrumentalist but the pedal steel is amongst the hardest to master.
Such a BEAUTIFUL American country sound.
You can't beat it.
Should be "" in the steel guitar we trust" because??????? It represents you!!
Pete
This is what makes country music for what it really is without the steel guitar it's just not country period....
Your right, it isn't the country music I want to listen to without a Steel.
Old Timer: I agree 100%!!
So did Ray Charles. If you don't think that racists are affiliated with all different genres of music, you're an idiot.
Mobility scooters
Alan Young why bring up that nobody was being racist?
Theres no country lovin song wothout the steel guitar...pulls at every heart stimg stirs the soul...THANK YOU SO MUCH
Country isn't country without the steel guitar (and fiddle ).
Yep
TJ N true, homie
Without that steel guitar and without that sweet sweet sound it makes country music is no more
If you're gonna play in Texas...
All I ask is that they burn the banjo. I hate banjos.
Tony, everytime I get depressed I come to utube and listen to your great music, Your music is the way country music should be, YOU are really inspiring, I wish O could play just like you!!!!

Tony pulled extra emotion out of an already extremely emotional instrument. His playing was and remains some of the very best.
As long as there are pedal steel guitars in the world I will never cry alone.
Never stop cryng Mr. Browne. Fantastic.......
Love the sound that Sho-Bud has. Fine cover of that song!
Iamm 77yrs old and taking steel guitar lessons.love that steel.good job
I'am 66 years old and learning to play on a SHO BUD Pro 1. You play my kind of music and I learn by watching. Keep up the good work.
I hope that you're still 'at it!'
I am a 60's/70's Rock and Roll kid but I really enjoy country music and the steel slide guitar sound. Well done my friend. Thank you YT algorithm for sharing a wonderful 11 year old video. Who said algorithms are runing our lives?
Very pretty song, nothing beats the sound of a steel guitar. Thanks for the great performance,,,cheers..

Nothing better in this world than a steel player. Fantastic job!!!
I love this beautiful sound
These things have always had the most soothing and beautiful sound to me

Great demo. Hard to beat a good steel.
I had a cousin who grew up on Sho-Buds and turned pro after air force duty. He was Brian Adams from east Tennessee.
Fantastic!!!! I love the steel and this is Wonderful! Excellent, and great to see the steel being played so wonderfully
A very nice song played on a very nice steel. Great job.
I used to drive truck with an old buddy that played the steel guitar. Miss those days. Ken, where are you now.
Hey John, Ken here. Long time no talk. Missing you everyday and all the times we spent in that old truck kissing each other. I still play the steel guitar and still have the same hot licks I did back in the day. DM me if you want to reunite.
