Woodsongs 607: The SteelDrivers�and Molly Andrews� - a podcast by The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour Vodcast

THE STEELDRIVERS brand of bluegrass is intense, dark, poetic, and inescapably human. It's a refreshing reminder of the timeless power of stringband music. This group of seasoned veterans from Nashville are each are distinguished in his or her own right. They are braiding their bluegrass roots with new threads of their own design, bringing together country, soul, and other contemporary influences to create an unapologetic hybrid that is old as the hills but fresh as the morning dew. The band is celebrating two new releases on Rounder Records."Reckless"is the bands eagerly anticipated follow-up to their highly acclaimed self-titled debut. The band is also featured on the movie soundtrack for"Get Low"which stars Robert Duvall and Bill Murray. MOLLY ANDREWS is recognized as one of the finest interpreters of southern Appalachian music and varied genres. Her lineage trails deep into pre-revolutionary southwest Virginia, hence a natural affinity for the old songs. Born a coal miners granddaughter in Bluefield, West Virginia, she uses combination of intuition and versatility as an a capella and interpretive singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. As the late Mike Seeger put it,"She's one of my very most favorite ballad singers."Her most recent solo recording, Bird On A Briar, is slated for release in early 2011.
