Kid Rock steelers in the Turning Point halftime show

[Richard Sinkler]

Does anyone know who Robert Ritchie's (Kid Rock) steel guitar player was on " 'Til You Can't" on the Turning Point halftime show yesterday. There were really no good shots of him.

[Jerry Overstreet]

Yeah, no I didn't get a good look either. Looked like a Sierra. Brett might know.

[Bill McCloskey]

Cowboy Eddie Long said he was playing the show, so maybe him.

[Austin Tripp]

Cowboy Eddie Long was on steel playing his BMI keyless

[Jerry Overstreet]

Cool. I thought it might be Eddie. BMI instead of Sierra, my bad.

[Richard Sinkler]

Wow. Thanks. Nice playing. That song was the highlight of the show.

[Craig Stock]

They had a nice closeup of him next to Kid, you could also hear him well in the mix!

[Jerry Overstreet]

It was a very nice spot. The strings interlude/intro was just fabulous.

[Richard Sinkler]

I just listened to Cody Johnson's version (with Mike Johnson), and prefer Kid Rock's slower, more emotional version, although Cody Johnson's version is great. Great song.

[scott murray]

was Kid Rock's band really playing? because he wasn't actually singing

[Brett Day]

It was definitely "Cowboy " Eddie Long playing his BMI

[Chris Templeton]

Scott, I forgot that I thought the bands didn't play.
For big shows. they don't want any room for mistakes and things are often timed to the minute/second. I think the Turning Point show ran over.

I split off a sub-topic that started to get political/cultural. It was a matter of time before it exploded. The topic is steel players on the Kid Rock show. Bad Bunny, SB halftime vs TP halftime are off-topic.

"Cowboy" Eddie Long used to play a Sierra when he was working with Hank Jr in the late eighties, but now plays BMI steel guitars
