Henry Senior Jr – Plates of Meat
As pedal steel player for Danny And The Champions Of The World these last few years, Henry Senior Jr has become one of the finest steel players around.
A fervent, exciting mix of Allman Brothers jam band grit, The Headhunters intoxicating funk, and Booker T and The MGs soulful elegance, ‘Plates Of Meat’ is a record that will appeal not just to lovers of pedal steel guitar but to anyone with a sense of playful adventure.
Plates Of Meat underlines Senior’s high standing in the pedal steel world and highlights what is possible on an instrument so long sidelined in the country world. As displayed here on this wonderfully inventive debut, Senior aims to bring this amazing instrument to a new audience.
