The latest album from Steve Dawson & The Telescope 3 titled Phantom Threshold is the second in a series of three albums conceived by Dawson during the pandemic. The follow up to Gone, Long Gone, Phantom Threshold features eleven instrumental tracks that showcase Dawson's unique pedal steel playing and musically unfolds like a movie for your mind. Dawson who handles pedal steel, acoustic and electric guitars, mandotar and marxophone is backed by The Telescope 3 featuring Jeremy Holmes on bass, Chris Gestrin on keyboards and Jay Bellerose on drums and percussion. Guests on the album include Daniel Lapp on violins and cornet and Fats Kaplin on accordion, banjo and fiddle. Choice cuts on Phantom Threshold include the trippy and atmospheric "Cozy Corner", the majestic ""Twig Bucket", the funky in the pocket jam "Ol' Brushy", the spaghetti western vibe title cut "Phantom Threshold", a totally psychedelic take of the Beach Boys' "You Still Believe In Me", the outstanding "Tripledream", and the laid back island feel of "That's How It Goes In The Relax Lounge".
