The unsung hero of many a country song is the steel guitar player. You rarely hear a steel player’s name but you definitely hear their work.
The name of the steel guitar player on more than 100 of Hank Williams’s songs is Don Helms. He died this week at age 81. Helms’ performance on classics like “Cold Cold Heart” and “Your Cheatin’ Heart” is almost as significant as Hank’s singing.
Helms was named to the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame in 1984 and was still active in the Nashville music community.
