The Steep Canyon Rangers are part of a new wave of young bluegrass bands that specialize in  tearing it up.  They concentrate in turning the energy up past hot to fricassee...Some bluegrass bands...are great vocalists who also happen to be good pickers, while others... are hot players who can sing. The Steep Canyon Rangers sit smack in the middle of these two camps....I m pretty confident in stating that the Steep Canyon Rangers are going to be even more successful due to Lovin' Pretty Women. --Vintage Guitar Magazine, October '07The stuff American success stories used to be made of a bunch of college pals form a band and become the genre's newest break out act. Accenting voice as much as instrumental prowess, this is what separates them from the rest of the pack.  That, and they choose to do different material than what has already been done by everyone.  The spark ignites.  On their second [sic] album, they still have the fresh vibe in tact and can relate to country audiences as well as jam band audiences.  They just might well be the new standard bearers of acoustic music. --Midwest Record, June 23, 2007"I have seen the 'Rangers' live more than a few times. Much to our pleasant suprise, we shared a stage at a festival with them in Wyoming recently. I found their music to be thought provoking, creative, and energetic. The Steep Canyon Rangers, collectively and individually, are wonderful pickers and singers.  Witnessing their comittment to honor the tradition of a true american art form, bluegrass; and their uniquely youthful Carolinian voice is a joy for not only the audience, but other musicians as well." --John Cowan
