Steep Canyon Rangers – Knob Creek

One of SCR’s signature songs. Written by mandolinist Mike Guggino it’s a tour de force for the entire band. A hauntingly beautiful melody which flows through many tempo and mood changes SCR really shines. Mike Guggino’s masterful mandolin solos, stellar fiddle work from Nicky Sanders; a beautiful banjo break from Graham Sharp, and an exquisite bass solo by Charles Humphrey III will leave you in awe. Good job boys!
