River Runs Red

Another song to add to my playlist of songs about the Civil War. The SteelDrivers performing "River Runs Red".

Gloryland

Tammy Rogers from The SteelDrivers performing "Gloryland" with fiddle.

McEntire's Rain

"McEntire's Rain"—a beautiful instrumental piece written by the SteelDrivers' fiddler Tammy Rogers, and performed here by Rogers and Richard Bailey.

The SteelDrivers

Two songs that the SteelDrivers performed at Sunday night's concert, "If It Hadn't Been for Love" and "Angel of the Night".

SteelDrivers

The last album up for the Bluegrass Grammy this year is the SteelDrivers' Reckless. The SteelDrivers have recently changed lead singers from Chris Stapleton to Gary Nichols.

I previously posted a version of this with Stapleton singing, but it is a great song, so here is another version of "Where Rainbows Never Die" with Nichols singing.



Another song, "Good Corn Liquor", with Nichols singing.



This song, "Can You Run?", is on the new album. This is a version with Stapleton singing.

Songs About Drinking

No Depression posted the first video below on Facebook, and it inspired me to do a post of songs about drinking. I have previously posted three of the best songs about drinking, or not drinking as the case may be—Great Big Sea's "The Old Black Rum", Corb Lund's "Time to Switch to Whiskey" and Elizabeth Cook's "Yes to Booty". So here are a couple more.

Townes Van Zandt - "Talking Thunderbird"



George Jones - "White Lightning"



I previously posted all of the known film of Bessie Smith. To include her again we have to go with just audio. So here it is, Bessie Smith with "Gimme a Pigfoot and a Bottle of Beer".




The Steeldrivers - Drinkin Dark Whiskey

The SteelDrivers

I posted two videos from The SteelDrivers when they won Emerging Artist of the Year at the International Bluegrass Music Association Awards. (IBMA Awards Pt. 3) But they have so many great songs, that I have to post some more.

From their album The SteelDrivers here is "Heaven Sent".



"Where Rainbows Never Die" - I am not sure if a recording of this song has been released. Also this video starts with the ending of the song "Blue Side of the Mountain"



I don't know if this next video is actually The SteelDrivers, or just Chris Stapleton the lead singer and songwriter. You can hear more of his songs on his My Space Page. This is "Daddy Doesn't Pray Anymore".

IBMA Awards Pt. 3

The IBMA's Recorded Event of the Year went to the group Daughters of Bluegrass for the song "Proud To Be a Daughtet of Bluegrass".





The Song of the Year award went to the song "Don't Throw Mama's Flowers Away". This song was written by Chris Stuart & Ivan Rosenberg. The performance that won was done by Danny Paisley & The Southern Grass.





The Emerging Artist of the Year went to The SteelDrivers. Here they are performing "If It Hadn't Been For Love".





Here is video for their song "Sticks That Made Thunder".
