You won't quite know what Chuck Campbell is really playing by the sound of it until you look up close. A pedal steel guitar player with the Campbell Brothers, Chuck's guitar convincingly assumes the identity of several intruments, including re-creation of voices and everyday sounds, not because of the instrument itself, but the way he is able to interpret them.
His ability to do all of that while complimenting the songs is impressive in an age where flashy acrobatics around an instrument is considered an achievement.
