The Steel Woods – On Your Own Time
The Steel Woods – On Your Own Time
Format: CD
Label: Thirty Tigers
Release: 2023
It’s a rare band that can make the blue-collar dreams of Southern rock’s pioneers relevant to modern audiences without sounding outdated. From the first, The Steel Woods have brought forward the enduring notions of self-reliance, hard work, family and faith expressed by artists from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Tom Petty to Merle Haggard, making them their own. The songs on their first three albums – Straw in the Wind, Old News and All of Your Stones — combined the sincerity of country and forlorn bursts of class anguish and troublesome geography, underscored with the occasional stab of heavy-metal guitar to create a sound that is The Steel Woods’ own. What can you expect from a band that cites Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Led Zeppelin among their influences?
