Editorial Reviews

The songs on Straw In The Wind are filled with narratives of cautionary tales, regret, revenge, philosophical questioning, lovers, dreamers, but most of all, it s an introduction to a fantastic, hard-edged, blue-collar band steeped in the culture and tradition of the South with a broader view. Their genre-blending sound is equally as old school as it is contemporary, while remaining unquestionably timeless.

Straw In The Wind features 13 tracks mostly written by lead singer Wes Bayliss and guitarist Jason Rowdy Cope, who played guitar in Jamey Johnson s band for nine years. The album includes songs by acclaimed writers such as Darrell Scott, Brent Cobb and even Black Sabbath, which receive inspired and distinctive interpretations. Bayliss and Cope, the gifted multi-instrumentalists and group co-founders, and joined by drummer Jay Tooke and bassist Johnny Stanton.

    I'm usually a metal man, but I've been expanding. I happened upon this band through YouTube, and I'm glad I did. This is country-ish, but more on the southern rock side ( I'm mean they have a Pantera cover on this album for goodness sake! - Hole in the sky ) this album is well worth the purchase.

    How this album has flown under the radar in the era of Stapleton is beyond me. This is a superb collection of stories set to southern country rock that ranges from achingly beautiful to a foreboding crunch. If you like the rock and roll of the Outlaws combined with the storytelling of Tom Russell then this is for you. Standouts: Wild and Blue, Della Jeans Heart, Straw in the Wind and, of course, Hole in the Sky.

    I had come across this band recently and gave them a listen and was pleasantly surprised. Most of their songs on this cd are excellent. I also bought Old News and it is pretty good too but not as good as this one

    This band jumped up and smacked me in the face. From top to bottom this album is solid. The guys are extremely talented with unique voices, talented guitar playing, and the writing is on point. I can't wait till they make it around the midwest cause I think they'll be great to see live. Don't hesitate to pick this one up if you're into southern rock / Texas country style music. The vinyl is clean, straight and sounds great.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Better in person
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2018

    I purchased this CD quickly after seeing them live. The band is amazing live and I was hoping that the CD would be even better since there were additional songs that I didn't get to hear due to their quick set. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The music on the CD lacks the depth and and hardiness of the live music, though this is hardly the fault of Amazon. That being said, the CD did arrive in excellent condition and quickly.

    5.0 out of 5 stars L'esordio di una trilogia vincente.
    Reviewed in Italy on September 3, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Terza punta del tridente d'attacco del nuovo "southern rock" made in USA, (Blackberry Smoke e Whiskey Myers le altre due), gli Steel Woods hanno già sperimentato la maledizione che colpisce le band di derivazione sudista, con l'improvvisa morte, a 42 anni, di un membro fondamentale, Jason "Rowdy" Cope, fondatore e chitarra solista. Una perdita drammatica che vedremo come il gruppo supererà, con il nuovo chitarrista Tyler Powers. Tre dischi con Cope, di cui questo è l'esordio, 2017. I Woods arrivano da una formazione prettamente country, anche se Bayliss, l'altro fondatore, gran voce e chitarra, arriva dall'Alabama, portando in dote la musica del sud. Questo "scontro" è evidente nella loro musica, partorendo in "Straw In The Wind", per esempio, cover di brani di Darrell Scott, squisito country singer songwriter di Nashville, e cover dei Black Sabbath, una rocciosissima "Hole In The Sky". Anime che comunque nel tempo hanno fuso al meglio, tanto che l'ultimo lavoro con Cope ha mostrato una band in decisa ascesa. "Straw In The Wind" è comunque ottimo: i ragazzi fanno tutto loro in produzione, accendono le micce attorno a un hard country senza tanti fronzoli, con la già citata cover dei Sabbath piegata a un rock sudista vicino a certe cose dei Gov't Mule, a fare la parte del leone. Ma non ci sono grosse pecche, forse qualche ballata un po' qualunque, ma in brani come "Let The Rain Come Down", splendida, o "Wild & Blue", arrembante, ci troviamo già davanti a un gruppo notevole. Altra band da vedere dal vivo, in Italia nel 2023, e tre dischi molto buoni già in saccoccia.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Southern Rock at its best!!

    Nachdem Doc Holliday und Blackfoot schon vor Jahren das Handtuch geworfen haben (zumindest in der Besetzung mit Bruce Brookshire bzw. Rick Medlocke), Molly Hatchet und die Outlaws auch nicht mehr sind, was sie mal waren, Greg Allman das Zeitliche segnete und nun auch noch Lynyrd Skynyrd auf Abschiedstournee sind, war es ziemlich ruhig in der Southern Rock Szene geworden. Nun hat sich zu den letzten Überlebenden (wie Blackberry Smoke, Whiskey Myers, Preacher Stone und The Cadillac Three) ein neuer Name gesellt: The Steel Woods. Und sie spielen nichts weltbewegend Neues, aber sie machen es auf ihre ureigene, unverwechselbare Art, -- behäbig oder beschwingt, wuchtig oder auch leise, mit einer unglaublichen Stimme und ganz viel Virtuosität und Southern Vibe, und auch ihre Herkunft aus Nashville drückt dem Album durchaus seinen Stempel auf. Gut, so richtig die Post abgehen à la Blackfoot oder Molly Hatchet tut's nicht, aber Songs wie das wehmütige „The Well“ oder „Better in the Fall“ und vor allem der atmosphärische Titeltrack „Straw in the Wind“ mit seinem Old West Feeling sind schon gänsehautwürdig (wobei man den Text von Letzterem natürlich genauso wenig auf die Goldwaage legen darf wie den von Preacher Stone's „Not Today“).
    Dieses Erstlingswerk von The Steel Woods wirkt auf mich mehr klassisch southern, stellenweise sogar mit deutlichem Country Touch, als das zweite Album, „Old News“, das noch düsterer und moderner gehalten ist, aber ebenfalls mit ein paar großartigen Songs aufwarten kann.
    Dennoch würde ich „Straw in the Wind“ den Vorzug geben, weil es meiner Meinung nach beschwingter, typischer und auch eingängiger klingt. Empfehlenswert sind sicherlich alle beide Alben, jedes auf seine Art.
    Für mich sind The Steel Woods jedenfalls die Entdeckung des Jahres, und ich freue mich schon riesig darauf, diese Combo im Herbst live zu erleben!

    I first heard of this band when they were on the bill of the Grand Ole Oprey - for my 60th Birthday treat trip to Nashville. This is truly a fantastic album that gets better with each listen. Some Great playing and very atmospheric tunes - One of my favourite albums of 2018. Southern Country Rock at its very best.

    Les navigations hasardeuses sur le Web font parfois bien les choses. C'est ainsi qu'en cherchant quelques nouvelles de Blackberry Smoke, je suis tombé sur ce groupe inconnu sur notre vieille Europe (et qui devrait malheureusement le rester...).
    Vous aimez les nouvelles pousses du genre telles Blackberry Smoke, Whiskey Myers, Cadillac Three mais vous ne les trouvez pas à la hauteur de leurs légendaires influences que sont Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Bros , Marshall Tucker ou encore The Outlaws, alors laissez-vous tenter par The Steel Woods et ce "Straw In The Wind". On navigue bien évidemment dans l'univers du Southern/Country Rock et il faut admettre que c'est particulièrement réussi. Production léchée, belles compos, slide, dobro, steelpedal, tous les ingrédients y sont. Et puis cette voix, Wes Bayliss, qui m'a fait frissonner aux premières paroles de "The Well", somptueuse ballade chargée d'émotion. Une voix qui n'est pas sans rappeler celle du désormais très regretté Gregg Allman, parti rejoindre récemment son frère Duane au Panthéon du Southern Rock.
    Rien à jeter mais je retiens tout particulièrement "Axe", "Better In The Fall", "The Well", "Straw In The Wind", "Wild And Blue", "Whatever It Means To You" et l'inattendue mais très réussie reprise de Black Sabbath "Hole In The Sky".
    Reste à espérer que les quelques amateurs du genre en Europe seront suffisants pour pousser le groupe à venir nous rendre visite sur scène, c'est pas gagné... En attendant, je me régale à écouter et réécouter ce très bel album.
