The SteelDrivers go number one on iTunes
Friday, December 19, 2008 – The SteelDrivers were the number one seller on iTunes in 2008 in the Americana/Bluegrass Album category for their self-titled debut, beating out number two Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's "Raising Sand."
The SteelDrivers were also recently nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group
The band consists of singer Chris Stapleton, mandolinist/guitarist/vocalist Mike Henderson (Mark Knopfler, Emmylou Harris, John Hiatt), fiddler/vocalist Tammy Rogers (Buddy and Julie Miller, Reba, Rodney Crowell), banjo player Richard Bailey (Johnny Cash, George Jones, Al Green) and bassist Mike Fleming (Kevin Welch, David Olney)

Much has been made of the growing diversity of sound within the bluegrass genre and from the opening vocals of "Blue Side of the Mountain," The SteelDrivers demonstrate unequivocally that they are determined to put the blues back into bluegrass.
Chris Stapleton is responsible for the gritty, soulful vocals that set this band apart from any others on the scene today; he plays guitar and is an accomplished songwriter (Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Lee Ann Womack). Other SteelDrivers include Nashville veterans Mike Henderson (mandolin/guitar/vocals), Tammy Rogers on vocals and fiddle, Richard Bailey (banjo) and Mike Fleming (bass).
Although tracks like "Midnight Tears" with its plaintive harmony vocals may sound like they came directly from either the Monroe or Stanley catalogue, all the songs are wholly original. Other standouts include "Drinkin' Dark Whiskey," "If It Hadn't Been for Love" and "To Be with You Again."
The ensemble walks that lovely musical line between being solidly tight and fluidly loose that few groups do so well. Better yet, there is a lively passion captured in these performances. The combination is exciting, refreshing and makes for compelling listening time and again. Strongly recommended.
