Add Ben Keith

ARE YOU READY FOR THE COUNTRY? In a 2006 interview, Keith told Lewis that he met Young in 1971 in Nashville early in the sessions for Harvest. Keith came to the recording studio at the invitation of drummer Tim Drummond, whom Young had asked to find a steel player for the sessions. When Keith arrived, "I didn't know who anyone was, so I asked, 'Who's that guy over there?' and was told, 'That's Neil Young.' I came in and quietly set up my guitar—they had already started playing—and started playing. We did five songs that were on the Harvest record, just one right after the other, before I even said hello to him." (7/28a)
