He plays the steel guitar, which is seldom used outside of the country music genre, so I think Lanois is unique in that way. Off the top of my head I´ll mention Emeralds/Mark McGuire as someone to explore who uses guitar based sounds, but as I´m sure you know theres an ocean of ambient out there, and I´m sure other use steel guitar as well, but nobody matches Lanois as a producer.

Love this song from Daniel Lanois the guitar is just planning! Do you know any artist similar?

Love it -

Wonderful selections and feeling with this mix! Thanks so much.
