Steep Canyon Rangers "Can't Get Home"

Tuesday, July 23, 2024 – Steep Canyon Rangers share the third single, "Can't Get Home (Live)," from "Live at Greenfield Lake," the band's first live album of original material, out Aug. 30 on Yep Roc Records.

SCR's Graham Sharp said: "The song 'Can't Get Home' is one that's really grown since we started playing it live. It's one of the places in the show where we go at it without any sort of plan. We know where we're gonna start and where we're gonna end, but we don't always know how we're gonna get there. We like to put a couple moments like that in the show to make sure everybody's listening to each other and encourage people to be creative and stretch out a little bit, and I think you can hear it in this song."

Recorded at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater in Wilmington, N.C. on Sept. 29, 2023, the disc contains 16 songs.

"This particular Greenfield Lake Amphitheater show is an example of the kind of night that we all dream of as musicians: a beautiful setting, an enthusiastic crowd, and the band is absolutely on fire," said Ranger Aaron Burdett. "While these performances do happen, it's tough to get all of those elements at once. It's like catching lightning in a bottle. But we did it on Sept. 29 of 2023 and had the good fortune to get it all down on tape. Live SCR is the best SCR by far. Makes me happy and grateful every time I hear this recording."

CD review - Morning Shift Just about a quarter-century ago, the Steep Canyon Rangers arrived on the bluegrass scene as one of the freshest new, young bands on the circuit, a quartet of former University of North Carolina students with a firm grounding in the traditions of the music, yet unafraid to venture off into uncharted territory. More than a dozen albums later – not to mention critically acclaimed collaborations with legendary comedian and banjo player Steve Martin – the Rangers are back with their ...
CD review - Arm in Arm The Steep Canyon Rangers are best known over the past decade for backing Steve Martin in his musical pursuits, but the North Carolina-based outfit has been active since 2000, and "Arm In Arm" marks their third release in 2020 alone. Bluegrass is at the core of the music infused with substantial doses of country, folk and rock. The set kicks off with a pair of the stronger bluegrass tunes that are thematically polar opposite with "One Drop of Rain" lamenting a troubled ...
CD review - North Carolina Songbook The mandolin and fiddle instrumental break during "Stand By Me," exemplifies what makes Steep Canyon Rangers' "Songbook" something special. "Stand By Me" has likely already been covered to death. You may say that until you reach this instrumental insertion, which - for a moment - may make you believe this supportive lyric was always part of a bluegrass song. Steep Canyon Rangers plays an album of all covers, recorded live at MerleFest 2019, and it's ...
