Steel Blue Rose

Article for Thursday August 21, 2008:

"Dixie here, back from the front lines of the war to get independent artists heard. We have a wonderful CD to review this week. I arrived at work one morning to find an album by Steel
Blue Rose on my desk. I couldn’t tell from the band name whether they’d be Country, Americana, a jug band or what description they’d end up fitting. “Steel” in the band name lent me
to think there might be a lot of steel guitar in their music. Ah well, nothing to do but slide the cd into the player and see what surprises might lie behind the name.

And surprises there were! Far from being easily pigeonholed into any one of the categories above, they fit them ALL and more. This band easily crosses genre and sub-genre
boundaries from Country to rocking Americana, to songs heavily influenced by the blues or jazz. Quality production was evident throughout the nine song cd. So in short, Steel Blue
Rose is a band that is sure to keep its audiences jumping and leave them wanting more. Steel Blue Rose can be found on the internet at www.steelbluerose.com. Check out their
schedule and if they’re coming to your area, go see the concert—you won’t be sorry!"
