Steel Guitar Rag

This is my cover of “Steel Guitar Rag”. Written by Leon McAuliffe, it was first recorded by Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys in 1936. It is considered a seminal Western swing instrumental and is credited with popularizing the steel guitar as an integral instrument in a Country-Western band. It has been recorded by countless steel and conventional guitarists, and is equally popular as a guitar solo. The Ventures included a version on their 1963 album, “The Ventures Play the Country Classics”.
