Yep. Vince Gill, Steve Earle, Jon Langford & Ricky Skaggs wouldn't
qualify. Does Buddy Miller qualify, or do his efforts as frontman
disqualify him? I'd exclude him, but it's a tough choice. Do Joey
Burns and John Convertino count, or do their Calexico efforts disqualify
them? I dunno.
As for a list, a few who haven't been mentioned yet that I'd take include:
Bruce Kaphan
Steve Goulding
Kenny Blevins
Tom Ray
Jim Keltner
Eric Heywood
Lisa Mednick
Erin Snyder (bassist to a billion Pittsburgh twang bands, and a fine
chef to boot!)
I seem to be biased towards steel players and drummers. Maines would
rank at the top of any list I'd make.
