Slowly was written by Webb Pierce and Tommy Hill written in 1954. It was a landmark recording in Country music largely because of Bud Isaacs‘ use of the pedal steel guitar. Pedals had exisited before but hadn‘t been used to audibly change chords in mid-song. My arrangement for lap steel uses slants, multiple chord glisses, and behind-the-bar string bends to give some fo the flavor of typical pedal steel moves.
