The Steel Wheels are an Americana band playing a mix of bluegrass and the blues complete with foot-tapping fiddle parts and old Mountain-time family sing alongs. They have a broad appeal that should turn on fans of modern-era Americana faves like Old Crow Medicine Show and The Avett brothers in addition to those who appreciate Gillian Welch and Langhorne Slim.

DIRTY STREETS - PORTRAIT OF A MAN: This Memphis 3-piece can barely grow hair on their faces, but that doesn't mean they can't rock harder than folks 10 years their elders. Rock is the key word for this album. Big, raw as a blister popped too early, and full of youthful bravado. Recommended if you'd like your Wolfmother with a better singer and twice the soul.

First off, I want to apologize for the lack of posts over this past week. I've had a touch of something nasty since Thursday (still do really) and haven't really felt much like writing.

Today, we'll look at two acts with their feet firmly planted in traditional music. First up are The Steel Wheels from Harrisonburg, Virginia. [...]

On this JamsBio exclusive, one intrepid fan dares to rank the Rolling Stones' album cuts from the decadent decade of the 1980's and give his reasons why in a worst-to-first countdown.
For all of the band's celebrated guest performances, "Start Me Up" really benefits from the absence of any guests. It's just the four instrumentalists bumping and grinding off one another for a truly explosive recording.
Something about those opening electric piano chords, played by the late, great Billy Preston, lets us know that we're in for a classic Stones' weeper.
Dusted off after nearly 9 years on the shelf, "Tops" found its way onto Tattoo You and left fans wondering just what took the Stones so long to unveil it.
You can see how this old soul chestnut would appeal to the Stones as cover material. You've got a sumptuous groove and lyrics which lay on the sexual innuendo thick. I'm sure most casual fans assumed upon hearing it in 1986 that it was a Jagger/Richards original. At age 14, I know I did.
It blazes along at breakneck speed propelled by Charlie Watts' unerringly brilliant drumming and the twin-guitar attack of Ronnie and Keith, and then "Summer Romance" is gone in a flash, much like a fleeting summer affair.
Although it was released on Tattoo You , "Slave" is more like the lost track from 1975's Black And Blue .
It has to have one of the oddest lineups in Stones history: No Richards or Wood, just Jagger on guitar and vocals, Wyman on synthesizer and bass, Watts on drums, and co-producer Chris Kimsey on piano.
While the parallels may be less than subtle, it's still a hoot to hear Mick shouting, "Don't saw off me leg, don't saw off me arm."
This track off Steel Wheels comes at you hard and leaves subtlety behind. It's as if the Stones wanted to remind everyone that, even though they were getting along, they also weren't exactly touchy-feely. "Hold On To Your Hat" takes a sledgehammer to that notion.
We counted down the Stones' complete 1970's studio catalog , and now we take on the band's output during the decadent decade of the 1980's. This period found the Stones sometimes funky, sometimes fiery, but always fiesty.
