Andy Hall & Roosevelt Collier 'Let The Steel Play'

Two authorities of the steel guitar, Andy Hall of The Infamous Stringdusters and Roosevelt Collier of the Lee Boys, join forces to let the steel shine on their excellent instrumental album, Let The Steel Play, which was released June 16. “This album is the perfect example of something you do strictly for the joy of the music. We shared songs that highlight our slide guitar history, but we also wrote some super cool modern tunes together,” says Andy.

If Hall and Collier did it simply for the joy of music, it’s the listener who is the beneficiary of that joy. From their take on traditional tunes like the opener, “This Little Light Of Mine” and “Power In The Blood” to The Dead’s “Crazy Fingers,” one only needs a brief second to hear the masterful dexterity and versatility, as well as musical passion, the two share. Bridging their musical backgrounds - Hall comes from the world of Bluegrass, while Collier was born into the Sacred Steel sound, learning lap and pedal steel at a young age directly under his uncles and grandfather -  the two put forth an enjoyable album with songs that are dynamic and fresh, yet comfortable.
