Song Review: Steep Canyon Rangers - “That’s All” (Live, Rehearsal)
There’s an undeniable groove to Steep Canyon Rangers’ take on “That’s All,” which comes out in a knotted ball of banjo, mandolin and fiddle driven by brushes on a percussion kit.
And while the groove cannot be denied, there’s another intangible that holds back the Genesis cover. Perhaps it’s the song itself. Maybe it’s that the band was working out the kinks in an empty Red Rocks Amphitheater. Or perhaps it’s something else. But something is missing.
There’s a germ of an SCR tune in that rhythm track. But “That’s All” ain’t all that.

Steep Canyon Rangers Play for “Paste” at MerleFest
- “Come Dance,” “Call the Captain” and “Deep End” feature in set and conversation
Steep Canyon Rangers mixed the old with the new during a three-song set for Paste magazine at MerleFest.
Recorded April 25 in North Carolina and freshly released, the performance and conversation about the band’s history finds the Steeps playing unplugged and soloing into vocal microphones.
Bassist Barrett Smith fronts the band on “Come Dance” and “Call the Captain,” which spotlight the Rangers’ bluegrass side with pure harmonies, supple playing and drummer Mike Ashworth stepping out front on Dobro.
These songs feature Graham Sharp’s banjo, Mike Guggino’s mandolin and Nicky Sanders’ fiddle recalling the Rangers’ roots and adding nuance to Smith’s vocals as he sings about love and coal mines.
Guitarist and newest Ranger Aaron Burdett takes the reins on “Deep End,” a series of clichés - think hit the ground running and bull in a china shop, for example - driven by Ashworth’s percussion and a more rock ‘n’ roll feel. Burdett replaced co-founder Woody Platt and his songs changed the Rangers stylistically and vocally. At this point, it still sounds unnatural, but hope springs eternal where the Steep Canyon Rangers are concerned.

Ya know, I’m looking at Simon’s hair right now and I’ve just realized that I have absolutely no idea when or why I started drawing him with more three-pieced bangs rather than the original straight cut ones lol.
He even has them like that in the manual doodles too. (Shout out to the shadows in this doodle making part of his hair look like it has raccoon stripes)
I’m thinking I probably saw how his hair angles towards one side and exaggerated it exponentially over time. But regardless, it realllyyyy ended up wildly different 💀💀💀.
I’ve been having a bit of an art crisis about it because while I think how I draw his hair right now is fun, sometimes it ends up so complicated and exaggerated that I can’t tell what to even do with it at most angles. Like it just kinda ends up this absolute mess of sharp lines and augh idk.
But at the same time I also have this really weird thing when I’m drawing characters where if for some reason I’ve drawn a character differently than before sometimes it’ll like not register to me as the same character and then feel super uncanny??? If that makes sense??? It’s funnily enough like the only reason why I don’t draw or post much art of Richter cause whenever I draw him it always just doesn’t look like him to me in the face especially idk it’s weird 💀💀💀
I tried to make is hair a bit more similar to the original, and the first one is nice but something feels kinda off about it to me, and the second one I combined aspects of how I usually draw him, but now he’s starting to look way more like Leon than intended so uhhhh idk, I’ll figure it out tho d(- - ;)

Fall River's Physics-Defying Hot Cheese Sandwich
"It was soft, the mouthfeel was cheeselike, it had the sharpness of cheddar punctuated by the savory Coney sauce and the pungent bites of pickle, onion, and mustard. It shouldn't have worked but it did." Fall River's Physics-Defying Hot Cheese Sandwich
I can’t always track when I learned about a sandwich down to a specific day or time or occasion or source. Some are easy–many of the sandwiches in the oft-mentioned 2003 documentary Sandwiches That You Will Like, for example. The St. Paul sandwich. The Hot Brown. Chipped chopped ham. But there are plenty of sandwiches mentioned in that documentary that I clearly already knew about, well-known…
