Various Artists — Luke Schneider Presents Imaginational Anthem Vol. XI: Chrome Universal - A Survey of Modern Pedal Steel (Tompkins Square)

Luke Schneider Presents Imaginational Anthem vol. XI : Chrome Universal - A Survey of Modern Pedal Steel by Various Artists
The 11th volume of Thompson Square’s Imaginational Anthem series focuses on the pedal steel guitar. Usually associated with country music, the instrument has come into its own in recent years in more experimental circles thanks to its ability to produce sustained drones and shimmering textures. Chrome Universal develops over nine instrumentals a mood of transcendent calm far removed from the pioneering work of figures such as Country Music Hall of Famer Buddy Emmons. In the broader sweep of the Imaginational Anthem releases, this collection follows the trajectory traced by Chuck Johnson (who is not represented here despite having appeared on the seventh volume during his acoustic phase) from fingerpicking acoustic guitar to pedal steel.
The tracks are concise, most around three to four minutes, and the whole thing comes in at just over 40 minutes. BJ Cole’s “Ely Revisited” establishes the mood with drawn-out notes drifting over a wash of synths, an arrangement shared by curator Luke Schneider’s dreamy “Yosemite 17” and Jonny Lang’s “Lambient,” which also adds bird songs. 
Of the somewhat more country-sounding tracks, Rocco DeLuca’s “Many Singing Softly” pairs the pedal steel with a fiddle, and Spencer Cullum’s “An Ode to Dungeness” spices things up with a little percussion as well as keyboards. Maggie Bjorklund’s “Flow” straddles the two worlds of Chrome Universal, beginning with a Nashville sound and then moving into more experimental territory with some distortion and rhythm that could be a tapping foot or drum machine. 
A few of the tracks seem to present the pedal steel unaccompanied. Susan Alcorn, whose work has extended from blues and country to free jazz, contributes with “Gilmor Blue” perhaps the most challenging track here in terms of unexpected harmonies and somewhat less mellifluous sounds, though without disrupting the overall feel of the collection. Barry Walker’s “I Will Tread upon the Lion and the Cobra” and Will Van Horn’s “Magnolia City” build up thick, synth-like walls of reverb and sustain through which their notes drip. 
Chrome Universal provides a useful entry-point for those curious about this curious instrument in contexts beyond the backing for twangy songs about heartache. It’s also a great chill-out record in its own right thanks to Schneider’s sequencing and focus in putting the collection together. One can quibble with the omissions (e.g., of Jonathan Gregg of Suss and Nathan Golub as well as Chuck Johnson), but not with the selections, which provide solid evidence that the pedal steel is more than a niche instrument.
