I'm not sure when Jerry recorded this but there's two steel tracks. It has to be at the dawn of muti-track recording.

Cool. Thanks, Joe
I wonder if Jerry being connected with Chet Atkins helped start him with overdubbing?
I heard that Jerry was responsible for getting Dolly Parton signed, on a side note.

Could be an influence of Les Paul too, who of course was famous for all manner of electronic innovations.
I just pulled up this great anecdote from Les Paul’s memoir that stuck with me:
“One day in July 1949, about 18 months after the accident, out of the blue Bing Crosby pulled up at our house on Curson Avenue. Bing came in and said “Hey Les, come on outside I’ve got something for you.”
I had no idea what he was up to until he raised the lid (of his Cadillac), and there was one of the first Ampex model 300 tape machines. Bing said, “this is yours for what you’ve done for me”.
I just kept looking at it and thinking. And I very quickly began to realize that I could use the tape recorder to do what I was doing with the two disc cutters if I could figure out how to do sound on sound on tape. And that’s when it hit me. I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down the idea that was suddenly there in my head, and it was like God had done it.
The idea just flashed into my mind that the way to do it was to add a fourth head on the machine, and I immediately drew out a rough design for doing it. Then I went hobbling into the house yelling, “I’ve got it I’ve got it!” Mary came out of the little laundry room next to the kitchen and said “What have you got?” And I said, “I’ve got a new invention, the tape recorder, and I just figured out how to do sound on sound with it.”
I was talking about the first sound-on-sound tape, which led to the first true multi-track recording’s, and the eight-track machine Ampex later built for me.”
