Steinar Gregertsen - Norwegian lap steel player extraordinaire - is working on a CD of Jimi Hendrix tunes played on lap steel and bottleneck. Check out "I Don't Live Today" on his myspace page:

He has such a touch! The lap guitars used are a Lazy River Weissenborn and an Asher Junior lap steel. I think he's overdriven electric lap playing is second to none (and his Weissenborn playing of course also achingly beautiful - listen to "Northern Lights" or "5AM" on Slide Planet Volume 1).
Enjoy!
