Meet Mr. Mike. His credits? He gave us a list and wow, it might
be easier to list the big names in the music biz he hasn't played for!
From Alabama, George Jones and Conway Twitty, to Neil Young, Colin Raye and Bonnie Raitt plus all points in between, Mike's list of performance and recording credits is pages long and just crazy.

Name a gospel artist, Mike's probably played for
them too. Add TV show credits ranging from Hee Haw and The Grand Old
Opry, both the Tomorrow Show and The Tonight Show... how can you go
wrong with Mike laying pedal steel on your track?
Check
out this January 28th, 2014 vid of Mike jamming with Billy Gibbons,
Peter Frampton and Randy Bachman at The Musician's Hall of Fame. Billy
cues Mike into a steel solo at 5:18:
Update: Unfortunately Mr. Mike passed away unexpectedly a few weeks ago of Covid and obviously is no longer available. We have another great steel player doing tracks you will be happy with and will update this page soon

Hi Bill,
I received the steel guitar track for "If You Only Felt" this morning and dropped it into my mix. Sounds great! Thanks again.
All the best,
"Hi You should see the smile on my face right now, I absolutely love what you have done!! It’s just fantastic and fits the song like a glove. I already have a new demo ready to send for more steel, this time with a solo part as well.- Joacim, Sweden

Dear Bill,

My name is Andrew Cromwell and this song is a co write I did with a current Australian Country artist named Cory Hargreaves. Cory will be releasing the song here in Australia as his next single but before putting the song out we would like to have some nice strong melodic contemporary Country pedal steel parts to give it a bit of a Nashville flavor.
A few days later:
Hi Bill. Thanks for the track. It's perfect for what we needed. Please thank your steel player ( Kevin) for me. I'll most likely be back in the future for more tracks on other songs.
Cheers
Andrew

I've used quite a few Nashville based "session quality" pedal steel players. Many were "one time in and never again," so pitchy or they just didn't fit into the song to the point I felt the tracks were not even usable. Never once have I felt that about one of Mike's or Kevin's tracks. Never once. That's because they are awesome, my only calls these days for steel work.- Bill Watson, producer for Nashville Trax, Trax Online

Hi Bill,
Got the tracks. They sit very nicely in the songs. Really sweet, no harshness, performed with feeling and very easy to EQ and sit in the mix. I'll send a link to my CD when it's finished. -Lou Simon. pianist and songwriter.

Hey Bill…..
Fantastic Job!……all I can say is WOW…. very clean. You guys are Pro's…. all the way.
I'll definitely be ordering more tracks- David Grosshans, Wilmington, NC
Lacking frets pedal steel guitar can be pitchy and have unstable signal
levels making it difficult to wrestle with in a mix. Without a great
session quality player providing it, and playing it through professional
equipment, properly processed, you may waste a lot of mix time trying to
make it work and end up ditching the track completely. There are a lot
of great live-band-situation steel guitar players worldwide, but the
overwhelming majority simply can't play at session quality. There are
only a handful of truly world class players.
Mike even brings his patented Cascade they-don't make-'em- like-this-anymore microphone to sessions here, the same microphone you've heard him play steel into on countless hits! Sweet, even, controlled... paired with one of our $2,500 Avalon mic pre-amps and a room designed for tracking, it's just the perfect mic/preamp/room combo for pedal steel.
The sample clips are intended to demonstrate intros, playing a solo with fiddle or guitar following, fitting the pedal steel part into modern country guitar dominated music and holding his own in that denser mix.
