Not just a great bluegrass album ...
This is a phenomenal album. Melodies and lyrics have freshness and impact that cut through the same-old same-old country scene. Fantastic 2-part harmonies that go from the rich smoothness of a summer night to the soaring edge of a mountain storm. Feels like it comes straight from the heart of the true America we so rarely see or hear.

Great, Great Bluegrass CD!
This is the best CD I've bought in quite some time. You don't need to be a bluegrass fan to enjoy it either. My buddies give me a hard time when I pop in a bluegrass CD normally, but this one they told me to turn up. I would recommend this to anyone. Picture it as mostly traditional bluegrass with Van Zant singing the lead vocals.

Off-center bluegrass
I came to this cd as a long-time fan of Mike Henderson, a true genius who has never been associated with anything but excellent music. "Steeldrivers" is no exception. Of course, the musicianship is out-of-this-world, you expect that with bluegrass, but what really separates this record from most of the others is the quality of the songs which are all just slightly "off-center".

The Steeldrivers are amazing!
I heard The Steeldrivers on the Opry on saturday night and immediatly came to amazon to order their cd. They were absolutely riveting.I was blown away by "drinking dark whiskey" from the opry show but they have other songs just as good or better. I was mesmerized by "sticks that made thunder" and played it back several times. Peoople will be hearing more and more about this inspired group. I'll let everyone else categorize their sound. I just know what I like - and I love them. It feels good to be this excited about music again.

AWESOME!
Loved it....loved it.....loved it..... The harmony, new music and mandolin playing was such an unexpected treat. Buy it, I think you will not be disappointed.
