Who played steel for George Jones 1977 album "I Wanta Sing"?

Post by Brian Spratt »

Wikipedia says it was Jim Vest and Pete Drake, but there's no reference cited to support that. Anyone know???

It's an often-overlooked album, but one of my personal favorites.

Praguefrank lists Jim Vest on 8 of the songs. the other 2 are Old King Kong (I don't hear any steel) and It's a 10-33 which sure sounds like Pete.

Wow, what an interesting blog. I wonder where all that discography info came from... that's massive.
