''Reckless'' is the second album by The SteelDrivers, released on September 7, 2010 by Rounder Records. Critical reception AllMusic's review states that "The Steeldrivers may play traditional bluegrass, but they do it with a style that's informed by outlaw country and rock & roll attitude." Jonathan Keefe of '' Slant Magazine'' writes, "What the SteelDrivers did so well on their self-titled debut, and what they build on throughout ''Reckless'', is incorporate a heavy dollop of traditional blues and Southern soul into their brand of bluegrass." ''American Songwriter'' writes that "it’s nice to know that Nashville is capable of putting out something besides more bad pop. Produced by Luke Wooten, whose production on Leslie Satcher’s ''Love Letters'' was the high point of Nashville music in 2000. Highly recommended, especially since you probably won’t hear this band in this incarnation again." John Lupton of ''Country Standard Time'' begins his review with, "Following the ...

Blues
Blues is a music genre and musical form which originated in the Deep South of the United States around the 1860s. Blues incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads from the African-American culture. The blues form is ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll, and is characterized by the call-and-response pattern (the blues scale and specific chord progressions) of which the twelve-bar blues is the most common. Blue notes (or "worried notes"), usually thirds, fifths or sevenths flattened in pitch, are also an essential part of the sound. Blues shuffles or walking bass reinforce the trance-like rhythm and form a repetitive effect known as the groove. Blues as a genre is also characterized by its lyrics, bass lines, and instrumentation. Early traditional blues verses consisted of a single line repeated four times. It was only in the first decades of the 20th century that the most common current str ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
