A nice interview with Greg leisz

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/greg-leisz-guitarist-interview-1172942/

I see he played in 1998 with Dylan and Van, I saw that tour so I guess I have seen Greig live.

Great interview, I can now see why Mark choose him, they have a similar musical background, and have a lot of artists in common.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Just saw in twitter that McCusker, McGoldrick and their friend John Doyle are touring in february and march, being the 20th of March their last date... that means they won't join
the MK recordings until after that date!
You might get lucky, now and then

Big fan of the pedal steel here and would love to see a country influenced album from Mark as I think country rock is really his thing.

Really disappointed it's not Franklin though, and that the usual suspects are turning up.  I suppose that contradicts itself!

That is indeed an interesting question how much and when they will be present at BG this spring!

Thanks!  We'll be going to Otley on 25th February, Covid allowing!   ;)

All the more reason I'd say the recording sessions will be in Late March at the earliest.....

I do enjoy a bit of pedal steel guitar so long as it's not on everything.   I loved it on "You and Your Friends" for example.  I hope the new album is not entirely country music, but I feel sure there will be lots of styles as usual, especially as it seems the folkies are involved again.

I'm with you on this one, superval. I'm not a huge fan of pedal steel but I am aware how well it does fit in with some of MK's work, however I wouldn't want it 'flooding' the new album mind.....

Don't has to be country though. "The Ragpicker's Dream" is like jazz but still has pedal steel. With simple fills it transforms into violin-like, or orchestral little accents. It's only "country" with distinctive country solos.

Yes very true, hadn't thought of it like that. Still scarred by the Pedal steel in OES which I wasn't a great fan of....

I think in previous sessions for other records, they started recording the core of the songs with the band, and the folkie parts were added later. Actually I think the last record, DTRW, only features the folkies in two songs from the fourteen, "Drover road" and "One song at a time".

It's seems likely they start in February with all the musicians except the folkies, and in March they would come if they are needed.

None of the albums have ever really had pedal steel anywhere where it wasn't needed, so I don't think you have anything to worry about.  The OES tour on the other hand...

Heavy Fuel on the OES album? I like it but it's not really needed on that type of rock song.

You beat me to it. That’s exactly what I was thinking about John and Mike. Plus the fact that last tour, they played a lot of percussion.

No, quite right. Pedal Steel on Heavy Fuel seems very out of place...
