Goodbye Old Missoula-Willis Alan Ramsey

Post by Jake DeJongh »

Does anyone know who plays the steel on Willis Alan Ramsey's song, "Goodbye Old Missoula?" It's a great song with so many beautiful parts.

I love the whole album. Since I first heard it in the mid 70’s.
- Why don’t you record another album?
- What’s wrong with the first one?

Great album and song, another great version is by Jimmie Dale Gilmore.

I've always been disappointed WAR never followed up with more albums. Great songwriter.
