If you ever pondered who might hold the title for best pedal steel player wonder no more. According to the users of the industry networking site, Musician’s Referral List (MRL) that would be Tommy Butler. Using scoring is 1 through 10 Butler received almost exclusively 10 (highest) ratings from his peers and fans. Butler said this about his success, “This career has taken me places and afforded me opportunities to see and do things that I would have not gotten to do without music. It is an experience unlike any other.”
Some of the more artists Butler has performed with are Joe Nichols, Tim McGraw, John Michael Montgomery, Doug Stone, Vern Gosdon, Hank Williams III, Daryle Singletary, Dierks Bentley, Jessica Andrews and The Wilkinsons. Butler is currently working with the much heralded brother and sister country duo, “The Roys” who are touring with Legendary George Jones on select dates throughout 2008.
Hi There,
Just found your site today and I wanted to turn you onto a pedal steel player named Gordon Stone. I am happy to send you a collection of his music to listen to and would love to get feedback from you!
He just finished a pedal steel dominated CD called “Night Shade” he recrded it at Phish’s barn in Vermont. He has been playing for almost 35 years, won an Emmy for work on public television and I am trying to share his music with folks that are interested. Send me your address and I will get you a complete package.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you!

I listened to Tommy play on the Tuesday
night. He is one of the best I have heard.
You just can’t beat those good ole Bladen
County boys. His pop-in-law Rev. Neil
Smith has taught me a lot about music.
Keep up the good work.
