Steep Canyon Rangers: New CD “Tell the Ones I Love” Order Now

Steep Canyon Rangers came to my attention with Steve Martin’s “Atheists Don’t Have No Songs”.  The song was meant to be a comedic turned out to be one of the most beautiful harmonies every recorded.

There music is perfectly described in this quote.

When people hear good music, it makes them homesick for something they never had, and never will have.
E. W. Howe

Atheists Don’t Have No Songs by Steve Martin & The Steep Canyon Rangers

THE NEW ALBUM
Tomorrow, September 10th is RELEASE DAY for TELL THE ONES I LOVE
The new SCR album, produced by Larry Campbell at the famed Levon Helm Studio in Woodstock NY features 12 original songs, including the title track and current single.

“The new Steep Canyon Rangers album proves that bluegrass isn’t stuck in the past. I especially enjoyed the thoughtful title track, a meditation on mortality with relentless, even cheerful movement that embodies time charging forward, sometimes against our will.”
-Sadie Dingfelder Washington Post Express
“Tell the Ones I Love, has a wonderfully open, warm, and breathy sound to it, probably because much of it was recorded live. Steep Canyon Rangers are all solid players, so that’s not a surprise, and neither is how good the songs are, really, but this time out, it all comes together with the grace of a summer breeze.”
-Steve Leggett AllMusic
