He has released two albums under the Brian Blade Fellowship with a distinct country music feel, due in part to Blade's being one the few jazz bandleaders to prominently feature pedal steel guitar. (Interestingly, another jazz drummer/composer, Bobby Previte, has also featured pedal steel occasionally.)
