    Three times I have asked Troy Engle to lay down a pedal steel track for my songs, with minimal direction. Three times he has delivered amazing, draw-dropping tracks on the first pass that I was able to use without modification. The first two tracks were included on songs that hit the New Music Weekly Country Charts in the past 12 months. The third is about ready for release as a new single. Troy has also done fiddle tracks for me that were outstanding. I recommend Troy highly.

    Troy is a superb multi-instrumentalist, excellent communicator and collaborator! If you are looking for Americana instrumentation presented tastefully I cannot imagine a better candidate.

    Troy did a fantastic job adding electric guitars, mandolin and pedal steel to spice up an otherwise musically bland and long Americana song. He has excellent instincts and can tell when less is more versus when more is more, and he executes accordingly.

    Troy did a superb job accomplishing my vision in one attempt with two guitars, mandolin and pedal steel. Nailed it on the first pass and provided wav files in the precise specs I needed to continue the project. I cannot imagine a better country Renaissance man.

    Once again Troy delivered more than I expected. He provided alternatives for verse transitions and created a new, different and much better bridge for the song. It's almost like he is standing beside you on stage. Thanks Troy.

    Troy is a consummate professional - a session master who gets great tones and has a complete understanding of what acoustic instruments should sound like. He is an A list player.

    My jaw is on the floor after listening to the steel and fiddle tracks Troy did for my song. I can't believe how well he interpreted what I wanted and nailed it. My wife made me a better man and Troy made me a better song. Great. Fantastic. Highly recommended.
