Pedal steel tune of mystery!

Music in the background of the first 30 seconds or so of this video? It's driving me mad and I've asked everyone I know (including the video creator, to no avail.)

It sounds so familiar, maybe because it sounds like an audio bed I used to use in my radio production days. But dammit if I can name it. Groinks.

I don't know, but I too am curious. I really like it, whatever it is.

Isn't it great? It's like a cross between "Calling Elvis" era Dire Straits and...something else. I wish to hell I knew what it was!

Why don't you contact the Youtube poster?

@Happy Dave: I tried commenting to no avail. I doubt a direct email would go much better, but I suppose I could give it a shot.

can't identify it, but it sounds like some kind of jam band--grateful dead maybe?
