Release Day Picks: March 6th New Album Highlights
The Scoop: While they may play traditional instruments, there’s nothing traditional about Grammy-winning bluegrass band and Asheville, North Carolina natives Steep Canyon Rangers’ approach to their greatest hits album featuring the Ashville Symphony Orchestra (ASO). Entitled Be Still Moses and out on Yep Roc Records, the LP is the brainchild of renowned Asheville producer Michael Selverne and ASO executive director David Whitehill — who wanted to break down the barrier between Asheville’s symphonic scene and its vibrant roots music foundation — came to fruition in the brilliant team up of SCR, legendary soul singers Boyz II Men and the Asheville Symphony on the critically acclaimed single “Be Still Moses.” The aptly monikered album of the same name is an extrapolation of the SCR/ASO collaboration, reimagining some of the Rangers’ best and most successful songs from 2007’s “Call The Captain” to 2018’s “Let Me Out of This Town” as well as the title track to the band’s 2015 chart-topping album Radio.
