Hi- I'm looking for who played steel on Conway's 1966 "Sings" album and which guitar they used. I'm having trouble finding personnel info for these sessions. It's too early for John Hughey, correct? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Lew Houston I believe, seen here:

not sure about the guitar but I sure love his playing!

If it's Lew Houston, he's playing a guitar built by John Hughey.

Great, thank you! That solo on Truck Drivin' Man is one of my favorites.

In that YouTube video Mr. Lew Houston seems to have his pedals located at the pickup end of his guitar. I've never seen that before.

That fist song sounds like the music is one speed and the vocals are another. Difficult for me to listen to.

Watch Conway's Working Girl from that same TV show. Mr. Houston shows his unigue style.
