Slide mountain

Some instruments are just blessed/cursed with being tied to physical places. Pedal steel guitar, for instance. Almost impossible to not evoke dusty sunsets and big open vistas, etc. Bruce Kaphan made a go of taking it into sad bastard indie rock territory, but even he had to go put on his metaphorical cowboy hat when it came time to make a solo record. Which is fine by me. I'm happy to enjoy and settle into a thousand yard stare.
