"Sorry it took me so long. Here's a short bio, btw, I'm working on a homepage for Ben but am having a hard time collecting info.

Ben Keith might be most well known for his backing of veteran rocker Neil Young, but he paid his dues with the likes of Patsy Cline ("I Fall To Pieces"), Faron Young and others. His session work with Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Todd Rundgren, Bobby Charles and many more speaks for itself. Don't expect him to rip out 1,000 mph clicks but rather hitting the right note in the right place all the time. You owe it to yourself to check out his playing on Neil Young's "Harvest" and "Tonight's The Night" to hear some of his most heartfelt steelin'!
Dave- Thanks so much for posting this for me. I hope Ben will get the recognition he deserves.
