Pedal steel player and guitarist
Eric Heywood has been a musical ally of some of the most important artists of the
alt-country camp. The Iowa native has served as a guitar tech and de facto member of
Son Volt throughout the band's career, adding some stellar touches of pedal steel to that band's albums (and working as a carpenter when not involved in his
Son Volt duties).
Heywood has also toured extensively and recorded with
Richard Buckner, helping to flesh out
Buckner's stripped-down moody landscapes. Other gigs have included touring with
Alejandro Escovedo and playing on albums by Peter Bruntnell and
Freakwater. He also hit the road with the latter, playing lead guitar as well as pedal steel. ~ Erik Hage, All Music Guide
