Vielleicht war er der größte Pedal-Steel-Gitarrist aller Zeiten! Jimmy Day hat unzählige Sessions bestritten und war mit Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Jim Reeves, Lefty Frizzell, Ray Price und Willie Nelson unterwegs. 1961 und 1962 nahm er zwei heutzutage unglaublich seltene Steel-Guitar-Alben für Philips Records mit insgesamt 24 Stücken auf, 'Golden Steel Guitar Hits' und 'Steel And Strings', die seinen herrlichen Sound, die verblüffende Technik und einen endlosen Fundus an Ideen unterstreichen. Zu den Titeln gehoeren ’Steel Guitar Rag’, ‘Panhandle Rag’, ‘Remington Ride’, ‘B. Bowman Hop’, ‘Bootheel Drag’, ‘Steelin' The Blues’, ‘Wild Side Of Life’ und ‘Texas Playboy Rag’. Day wurde 1982 in die International Steel Guitar Hall of Fame aufgenommen. Er trat in den letzten Jahren meist in Texas auf und spielte ausgewählte Konzerte mit Ray Price, bis er am 22. Januar 1999 an Krebs verstarb.
