Anyone of you wise men know who the steelplayer was on the Nashville album Elvis Costello made many years ago and do you know anything about him?

I think it was John McFee - used to be in the Doobie Brothers

That would have been the album "Almost Blue" and the steel player was John McFee..

Recorded May 18, 1981 - May 29, 1981
Released Nov 1981

Hi Guys
Re the Emmons guitar.....does there seem something unusual about it or am I confusing camera angles...The neck seems set back a lot from the front of the guitar, particularly the wider parts near the bridge. Is it an original Emmons neck...maybe a very early guitar.
