Eric Heywood

Pedal Steel, Weepy Sounds

It was a thrill to have Eric play his weepy / overdriven pedal steel on Flash of Gold, Bigger, Brighter, This is the Sound, Florida - as I've been a fan for years & years.

I first saw him play when he was a member of Son Volt. He went on to tour with Richard Buckner, Alejandro Escovedo, Calexico & more ...

Recently Eric's been on the road with Ray LaMontagne, the Pretenders & countless other folks who are on constant rotation in the Brighter Things household.

A pleasure to hear his sounds on the new record!
