Album Notes & Community Reviews

Revolutionizing the pedal steel guitar, Nashville session legend Pete Drake introduces his "talking steel" technique鈥攁n early analog precursor to the talk box鈥攖o a mainstream audience. The album blends highly polished 'countrypolitan' arrangements with eerie, synthesized vocal effects that straddle the line between country music and space-age pop. The massively successful title track cemented his reputation as an innovative sonic pioneer.
