Hot Steel and Slide Licks

"Hot Steel and Slide Licks" was composed by Jeremy Wakefield. It is a series of short cues played on a steel guitar used commonly in the series, starting with season 8. It mostly features remakes of "Steel Licks" and "Hawaiian Solo Steel" and serves as a replacement for those. There are 149 licks in total.

Nearly every segment is a newer remake of "Steel Licks," while 25 and 26 are a remake of "Hawaiian Solo Steel" and 36, 37, and 38 are original cues.

Segments 13D and 15A are included in "Is This Heaven" and "Is This Heaven 2."
