Steel player on Jim Reeves LP album?

I just went through my LP collection of Jim
Reeves albums and I fell over one named "Good `n` country". Of course I had to listen to a couple of numbers and I heard
a very mellow, nice sounding steel guitar on two of the numbers. One is "Don`t let me
cross over" and the other one is "You kept me awake last night". The album must at least be 25 - 30 years old. I know, I bought them when I was about 13. Can anyone help me with the name(s) of the steel player(s) on that album?

I think it was Pete Drake.

Yes it's Pete Drake. He had an unmistakable style. He played on alot of R.C.A. stuff in the early '60's.
