    Good God this dude is a bad ass. I love what he had done with the pedal steel. I have never seen it outside of a country context where it's beautiful but used in such a limited context by most. I always thought of it as more of a color instrument than a serious lead or rhythm instrument. It's requires limb and digit independence. You can't get vibrato on a piano or multiple notes in the same octave which you can on a pedal steel.

  • @tpap6827

    I love seeing young cats keeping blues alive and evolving. He has to be written into the music history as a serious pioneer. Was there an serious pedal steel blues virtuoso or even player before Randolph. Assuming no, he not only is an original but he also tears it up with clean, fluid and fast technique with the chops of Derick Trucks, SRV, Sonny Landreth, Joe Bonanassa with the influence of Delta Blues greats like Robert Johnson, Son House, Muddy Waters (who is also associated with Chicago style as he lived outside Chicago and played Checkerboard lounge for years) and Chicago cats like BB King Otis Rush, Hound Dog Taylor, Buddy Guy, Mike Bloomfield, Lonnie Brooks, John Lee Hooker, Son Seals, Robert Cray Memphis players like Albert King, Texas cats with the fast licks, raunchier tone boogie rhythms like Billy Gibbons, Lightning Hopkins, Albert Collins, Gatemouth Brown, Johny Winter (and of course the aforementioned SRV who is one of his biggest influences), British blues rock influence like Clapton, Peter Green, Jeff Beck, Gary Moore, Paul Kosoff, southern blues rock like Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Warren Haynes, Trucks before him
