The Steep Canyon Rangers are part of a new wave of young bluegrass bands that specialize in tearing it up. They concentrate in turning the energy up past hot to fricassee...Some bluegrass bands...are great vocalists who also happen to be good pickers, while others...are hot players who can sing. The Steep Canyon Rangers sit smack in the middle of these two camps....I'm pretty confident in stating that the Steep Canyon Rangers are going to be even more successful due to Lovin' Pretty Women. --Vintage Guitar Magazine, October '07
