Posted on by Michael Fremer
Southern “New Age” is a new musical sub-genre for me, but if this is a typical example of it, y’all can be sure I’m on board. Luke Schneider coaxes from the 1967 emmons push-pull pedal steel guitar (named for the pedal steel guitar great, the late Buddy Emmons) cosmic otherworldly, uplifting heavenly sounds that instantly engage the head and message the heart.
