Greg Leisz is prolific, to say the least. For decades, the Southern California-based multi-instrumentalist has been a go-to guitarist and pedal steel player for musicians such as Eric Clapton, Buddy Miller, John Mayer, Bill Frisell, k.d. lang, Robert Plant and others. Leisz recently contributed a track to the wonderful\xa0Big E: A Salute to Steel Guitarist Buddy Emmons. On this week\u2019s podcast, we talk to him about the tune he performed on the tribute record (\u201cWild Mountain Thyme\u201d), the impact Emmons\u2019 playing had on his own music education, his gear of choice and more.\xa0

In early 2014, Leisz will be the subject of a lengthy\xa0Fretboard Journal\xa0magazine feature, penned by producer and singer-songwriter Joe Henry. As always,\xa0subscribe\xa0if you\u2019d like to get that issue delivered to your home. We have a lot more pedal steel and steel guitar coverage in the works, too.\xa0
