GET TO KNOW THE STEEL WOODS.
The Steel Woods formed in Nashville around singer Wes Bayliss and guitarist Jason Rowdy Cope, bringing country storytelling into a heavy Southern-rock setting. Straw in the Wind introduced the combination, while Old News and All of Your Stones developed its themes of endurance and consequence. The catalogue is most distinctive when the force of the guitars serves a patient, carefully shaped story.
The band balances blues-rock weight with country phrasing and harmony. Bayliss’ voice provides a steady narrative centre even when the instrumental sound becomes large and aggressive.
