The Steel Woods (from the album All of Your Stones available on Woods Music) (by Bryant Liggett)
They’re a Country Rock band leaning heavy on the Rock. Nashville’s The Steel Woods let power chords introduce almost half of the tracks on their latest All of Your Stones, a record that dabbles in hard-edged Country Blues and Southern Rock, cooking grit in every song, even the cuts that leave lower the volume and guitar attack. The Steel Woods find a comfort zone in noise: “Out Of The Blue,” “You’re Cold”, “I Need You”, and “Aiming For You” all charging out of the gate with a big guitar punch before quickly pulling back to reveal solid Country Rock roots. This is a band that has volume in their back-pocket yet they don’t use it as their singular weapon. The Steel Woods know how to craft a song that lives within the Rock band realm. When The Steel Woods slow things down the reveal is a softer Folk side that carries just as much aggression. “You Never Came Home” begins as a piano ballad before the band jumps in making walls of rhythm to back the dramatic vocals. Album closer in the All of Your Stones title track is a heavy, radio friendly cut with punchy Southern Rock guitar fills with a big Rock ending. Country Pop or traditional Country music All of Your Stones is not. Enough twang lives within the walls of Rock to label The Steel Woods another band that will keep the Classic Country fire kindled.
