Hammer Down (album)
''Hammer Down'' is the third album from The Steeldrivers. It was released on February 5, 2013 by Rounder Records. Critical reception AllMusic's review of ''Hammer Down'' says, "On their third album, The SteelDrivers continue to forge their own unique path in the world of bluegrass/acoustic music. They play music that sounds like bluegrass on the surface, but they usually eschew the high lonesome harmonies of traditional bluegrass for a more mainstream approach that often sounds like hardcore country gone acoustic." They give the album 3½ out of a possible five stars. John Lawless reviews the album for ''Bluegrass Today''. "Several of the songs on Hammer Down are contributions from founding members Chris Stapleton and Mike Henderson, both of whom have stepped down from active touring, but whose distinctive songwriting has helped define the group since their start in 2008. Compositions from Rogers and Nichols are also included." The Washington Post writes, "On ''Hammer Down'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 ...
