Paul Franklin is on STP, RPD and Privateering, if I recall well, and he is not doing any country think of them, just creating atmospheric sounds and some nice solos and touches here and there.I think this is why MK wants that instrument on his records.
That's true, but Paul Franklin is also on Golden Heart and we'll probably agree that MK first album is country:)
The most country flavor ... But I agree. Song number 14.

It's funny when I read that the fact there is a steel player is going to be country.Many of MK records have pedal steel and are not country at all. Privateering has pedal steel on many songs and none of them are country!

PF has been completely wasted on recent albums, in fact you couldn't tell there was a pedal steel on it/them.
