of the five listed I played on only DOughnut GIrl, (backing stuff no solo- except for the the end where they used the trumpet track instead, but used the steel solo as a "bonus" track on the cd...)(warning- b@njo on this track!!not prominent but there)

My Sally is an interesting pseudo appalachian pity ballad... no steel though

More and More Amore has LTH's guitarist Bill WIlliams on Dobro for the melody- fun stuff.

not the choices I would have made of tunes to post for the Steel Forum, but representaive of the band...

I played all over the eponymous "last Train Home" cut and a violent solo in heartbreak mountain- but no samples for them
