Search - Sneaky Pete Kleinow :: Shiloh Records Anthology

Sneaky Pete Kleinow was best known as a mind-altering pedal steel guitarist, and an integral part of the sound of Gram Parsons' original Flying Burrito Bros. Every rock fan worth his salt knows Sneaky as the brilliant steel player zigzagging his way across The Gilded Palace of Sin, the Burritos' stunning 1969 debut, and as the band member on the album cover decked out in an all-black Nudie suit with a golden pterodactyl on the chest, where Superman's red "S" would have been. And that was Sneaky, to a T: super-hero steel guitarist to no less than the Rolling Stones, Booker T. & the MG's, Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, Doug Sahm, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Randy Newman, Little Richard, Frank Zappa, Leonard Cohen and John Lennon -- among countless others. Here's a brilliant taste of the pedal steel guitar genius of Sneaky Pete Kleinow. Long may he wave.
