One of the great true-twang sidemen of the 1970s, pedal steel player Doug Jernigan added some super-sweet licks to an awful lot of records over the years, from the smallest indie productions to hit albums by Nashville superstars, as well as his own jazz-meets-country solo albums. In addition to his session work, Jernigan toured with several stars, perhaps most notably as a member of Johnny Paycheck's band. Here's a quick look at his solo stuff...
