Bennett Keith Schaeufele (March 6, 1937 – July 26, 2010), better known by his stage name Ben Keith, was an American musician and record producer.
Known primarily for his work as a pedal steel guitarist with Neil Young, Keith was a fixture of the Nashville country music community in the 1950s and 1960s before working with numerous successful rock, country and pop artists as both a producer and versatile, multi-instrumentalist sideman for over four decades.
Neil Young affectionately referred to him as "Long Grain" (a joking word play reference to a variety of the famous Uncle Ben’s Rice, and Ben’s height).
Keith was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2014.
