It is quite unique for a steel guitar application. 7 CRY CRY CRY – Ronnie’s instrumental version of the Connie Smith hit. Laney Hicks sings on this one. 8 LOST IN THE FEELING – This is a Conway Twitty song that had more steel guitar on it than any I ever heard. John Hughey was the original player. Of course being a huge fan of John Hughey, Ronnie has included it as an instrumental with a few lines sang by Daryle Singletary. 9 WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES – Another truly unique steel guitar instrumental version of the Doobie Brother’s smash hit. 10 WHAT A WAY TO LIVE – Ronnie’s instrumental version of the Johnny Bush favorite.

It is a steel guitar/electric guitar harmony track originally recorded by Roy Nichols and Norm Hamlett. Terry Downs transcribed the guitar and steel guitar notes and included it on “The Guitar Styles of Roy Nichols” guitar instructional DVD. Ronnie had always loved that song and has included it here with Terry Downs playing the guitar part. 12 CHARLEY PRIDE MEDLEY – The medley was assembled by Ronnie to pay tribute the all those great steel licks played by Lloyd Green and others on the Great Charley Pride hits.
