The Steeldrivers - Joe Val 2008 - Can You Run

[bgrassinsj]

definately one of my favorite bands, songs, and voices of all time.

[drfrostynoogs]

I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THE STEELDRIVERS!!!!....with Stapleton that is....haven't found a track or video with Gary Nichols on it that I like yet....tryin to give him a chance though because the body of music this band has created is FANTASTIC.....Stapleton? Do you watch these ever? COME BACK! Keep Jompon Bros. as a side project.... I for one would easily pay $100 to see Steeldrivers w/Stapleton just for a full set. Money motivates, right?

[baldmunster]

if anyone has seen them live and bought the live album (apparently it was only available at shows) send me a message on here, i would like to offer a trade or something if youd be willing to mail it to me!

[Kickactionjesus]

good god this new song is so good, accidentally found linked on another band

[Saebylla]

Where do you find the lyrics? They sound beautiful but I can't make out some of what is being said.

[tenjed2]

Im going to miss this guy on stage...good luck with the future Chris.

[rhonaker]

@tenjed2 me too. have you listened to the new guy at all though? he sounds really similar to chris i think. that's good news, right? :)

[manysons]

When I win the mega lottery I am going to have my own bluegrass festival.... These guys will be the headliners!

[tadmania1]

Another is:

Can you run, through the freedom lines of the Lincoln soldiers

Where contraband can be a man with a muzzle on his shoulder

(Sounds a little like 'musket' instead of 'muzzle', but that's the wrong war)

[longbowdon]

@tadmania1

Actually,  springfield muskets were used in the civil war. Cartridges were just invented and they didn't see widespread use until the middle of the war.

[tadmania1]

One part is

"Chase the taste of bondage from my tongue"

Kinda hard to say!

[Alaskrab]

These guys are amazing - been listening to em for a few years now, and can't stop

[eadgwires]

These guys are the future for Bluegrass. Love em.

[velvetunderpants44]

He's got what must be one of, or even THE best, and distinctive voices in bluegrass.

[belladonna1234]

amazing. doesn anyone have the lyrics for this song? i hope its on the new album.

[Brotherman65]

I'm looking for and trying to figure out the lyrics too. Got most but am stuck on a few. If you get them, please forward along, thanx

[cactushill1]

They absolutely need to put this song on the next album. Damn Stapleton can sing

[jocwalk]

I saw them recently and enjoyed the show but was really disappointed in the behavior of the lead singer. Maybe it was a bad day for him or something urgent came up but he wanted nothing to do with the fans and left right after the show, refusing to sign CD's or visit with the audience at all.

[eddie2534]

He and his wife just had a baby a few months ago, so maybe that had something to do with it. I have spoken with him a couple of times in the airport and he is really friendly and approachable.

[mjthomas14]

Sure hope they put this song on their next CD. Love this group!

[heatherhombre12]

wot about him

[heatherhombre12]

Best acoustic band to originate from Nashville in 10 years

[bluegrasschild]

wot about nashville bluegrass band man mike compton common

[Brotherman65]

Can I get the audio of this vid to put on my MP3 player?

[d14smith]

Richard Bailey and "big" Mike Henderson really shine on my

favorite STEELDRIVERS tune to date- be honest...they are all

tremendously talented and together are the best new band in 2008 in ANY category to my two ears...

[HunterSteel6181]

Thanks Steve for posting this, i sure hope they include this on their next album.

What an incredible talent, ain,t never heard anyone sing bluegrass like that before!!!what a great voice!!!

[gasshuffer]

i'm going to see these guys at the three sisters festival in chattanooga, can't wait!

[jmaustin0131]

We saw these guys last weekend at Bluegrass Underground!!! Amazing to say the least. They sounded better than their CD!!! If you ever get a chance to see them live do it! What great talent each member possesses. WOW!!!

[Brotherman65]

Outstanding! They take bluegrass above and beyond! Seen them Live @ Earhart Music Fest 2008 last weekend. Such a great live band. Tammy Rogers took a pic with me! She sure can shred on that fiddle. She plays with soooo much heart and soul!

[Andyssonopie]

Can you say, Acid Grass Great Music!

[bootsmcgoots]

Killer. Can't wait for Steeldrivers #2. Virtuoso musicianship. Skintight harmonies. Really smart songwriting. And Chris Stapleton is the greatest bluegrass soul singer in the world. That's all. I know these people have a lot else going for them (hit country-radio songwriters, studio musicians, etc.), but the very best thing they can give the world is more Steeldrivers.

[06g6v6]

@bootsmcgoots I agree! excellent! Wish Chris woulda stuck around...Gary rocks though, but Chris owned it!

[sleaponit21]

went to hobgoblin this morning, got PROPERGANDA free mag, read mavericks reveiw of steeldrivers new record, put it into tube ? wow nockout, thanks for posting

[geneland]

Five Stars! I just heard of them on Sirius and bought the album. Not a bad song on it! Every song is toe tapping good! Like Travis Tritt,Alison Krauss and Stevie Ray Vaughn all got together. Great Video!

[Mandopete]

Yeah, this should have been on the release - great tune!

[me05501]

Great tune here, and it didn't even make the record. I dig it.

[Smeralda1313]

Love it! Wonderful, fantastic, great!

[lostfan1111]

Awesome

[steveide59]

I was blown away by these guys and by the Abrams Brothers on Sunday, who, for me, were the surprise of the whole weekend!

[fullmatrix1]

i love it! fantastic! :)

[sylvairo]

Joe Val was as good as ever this year, and these guys were the highlight for me. Fantasic band!
