The GRAMMY Award-winning Steep Canyon Rangers celebrate their North Carolina roots with North Carolina Songbook, captured live from their acclaimed MerleFest performance in 2019. This heartfelt album honors legendary artists from the Tar Heel State—spanning the timeless voices of Ola Belle Reed, Elizabeth Cotten, and Doc Watson to the world-renowned legacies of Thelonious Monk, James Taylor, and Ben E. King. Showcasing the Rangers’ signature instrumental brilliance, it’s a vibrant journey through the region’s rich musical heritage.
What sets North Carolina Songbook apart is the band’s passionate interpretations and soul-stirring musicianship, highlighted by standout moments like the remarkable mandolin and fiddle interplay on "Stand By Me." Produced by the Steep Canyon Rangers and recorded live for an unforgettable event, this release also supports the Doc Watson Student Emergency Fund at Wilkes Community College, making it a meaningful tribute to both the music and the community that inspired it.
