██ ░▄
██│ Few bands are as aptly named as the SteelDrivers: steel is known for
██│ its remarkable strength, but also for its resilience, and the same is
██│ certainly true of the SteelDrivers, as they have proven time and
██│ again.
██│
██│ On February 7, 2020, they will release Bad For You, their fifth studio
██│ album and the follow-up to their GRAMMY«-winning 2015 release The
██│ Muscle Shoals Recordings. The eagerly-awaited album features eleven
██│ new songs, ten of which were co-written by Tammy Rogers, whose
██│ spirited and soulful voice and fiddle playing have been a hallmark of
██│ the bandÆs hard-driving sound throughout its existence. It also marks
██│ the bandÆs debut recording with Kelvin Damrell, the singer and
██│ guitarist who joined the band in early 2018.
██│
██│ The album-opening title track, released today, churns slowly like a
██│ paddle-wheel steamer negotiating a shallow muddy river. DamrellÆs
██│ voice rises and howls with a poignant desperation, while RogersÆ
██│ fiddle carves lonesome answering lines, and the 15-year Steeldriver
██│ tradition of dark, jagged-edged goth-grass feels intact and heading
██│ for new places.
██│
██│ Then in ôThe Bartender (Load The Gun)ö the main character wrestles
██│ with his role. Is he a friend-in-need or an accessory to a crime? ItÆs
██│ a question perfectly suited to the SteeldriversÆ unsparing blues. Up
██│ next, ô12 OÆClock Bluesö takes us inside the haunted anxiety of
██│ insomnia. Written by Rogers with longtime musical companion Kieran
██│ Kane and his duo partner Rayna Gellert, it became DamrellÆs favorite
██│ for its groove shockwaves and its depiction of a shared human
██│ experience.
██│
██│ There are brighter offerings as well, including the pure ardor of ôI
██│ Choose Youö and the Cajun-inflected country bounce of ôGlad IÆm Gone.ö
██│ Yet the emotional seriousness of the whole collection is firmly
██│ established by ôFalling Man,ö a song inspired by the breathtaking
██│ photo of an unidentified victim of 9/11 ôcaught in a frameö and thus
██│ made immortal. ôIÆll never die/IÆll never land/Call me what I am/A
██│ falling man,ö sings Damrell in his most vulnerable performance, with
██│ Rogers in sympathetic harmony.
██│
██│ Bad For You arrives after a period of triumph and adaptation. Shortly
██│ after their GRAMMY« win in 2016, guitarist and lead singer Gary
██│ Nichols decided to go his own way. The band momentarily hit pause
██│ while they considered their options, but ultimately decided that this
██│ setback was not insurmountable and they launched the search for a lead
██│ singer. In a stroke of remarkable good fortune, RogersÆ daughter came
██│ across Damrell û a rock singer from Berea, Kentucky û on YouTube, and
██│ soon, he joined Rogers and longtime bandmates and friends Richard
██│ Bailey (banjo), Mike Fleming (bass) and Brent Truitt (mandolin) as the
██│ newest member of the group.
██│
██│ ôI was pretty fresh to bluegrass,ö Damrell says. ôThe only bluegrass
██│ IÆd heard was couch pickinÆ at my grandparentsÆ house, and I wasnÆt
██│ into it, to be completely honest. I was a rocker. Cinderella was my
██│ favorite band before I met these guys.ö But that kind of angular
██│ perspective was more in tune with The Steeldrivers than he could have
██│ known, and his initiation into bluegrass infused a convertÆs zeal into
██│ his performances. ôEverybody in the band were virtuosos,ö he says.
██│ ôAnd IÆd never seen that side of bluegrass. I thought it was just that
██│ old foot stomping traditional stuff, so I was surprised to hear this.
██│ And I knew I had a lot of work to do to keep up.ö
██│
██│ That a quintet could sound so consistent over time, while adding new
██│ repertoire and even new lead singers, is a testament to the
██│ SteelDriversÆ mettle and resilience. As Rogers says with a shrug, ôWe
██│ all still love the music and wanted to continue, so what else were we
██│ to do but keep SteelDrivinÆ?ö
