Steep Canyon Rangers video bio
The Steep Canyon Rangers have put together an 8 minute video bio to introduce themselves, and their upcoming Rebel release, Lovin’ Pretty Women, to the YouTube audience. The video includes a live performance of the title track from the new project, a catchy and humorous band original that mixes traditional bluegrass and old time elements.
The video closes with the audio from Kuykendall, one of two instrumentals from Lovin’ Pretty Women, which one would expect might be a tribute to Pete Kuykendall, publisher of Bluegrass Unlimited magazine, former member of The Country Gentlemen, and a bluegrass mandolinist.
To this date, we’ve not found any audio samples online from the new CD, though they will surely appear on the band’s web site before long.
