The record represents a conscious tightening of focus: a return to the bluegrass foundations that first bound the band together, approached with the confidence and emotional range earned through years of collective evolution. It is an affirmation that bluegrass still contains endless expressive possibility.\u003cbr\u003eNext Act finds the Rangers sounding deeply at home in their own musical language, drawing strength\u003cbr\u003efrom tradition while continuing to write new chapters within it.\u003cbr\u003eFormed in North Carolina and shaped equally by the Appalachian Mountains and the Piedmont, Steep Canyon Rangers have long occupied a singular space in American roots music. From their earliest recordings, the band demonstrated an unusual ability to honor traditional bluegrass forms while allowing contemporary songwriting, literary influence, and regional storytelling to seep naturally into the music.\u003cbr\u003eOver time, this balance earned them both bluegrass credibility and broader Americana acclaim, culminating in a Best Bluegrass Album GRAMMY Award for 2013’s Nobody Knows You, additional nominations for Rare Bird Alert (2012) and North Carolina Songbook (2020), and an induction into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e☛ 15th studio album from GRAMMY-Award winning bluegrass\/Americana outfit Steep Canyon Rangers.\u003cbr\u003e☛ The band describes this record as them returning to their bluegrass roots.\u003cbr\u003e☛ Features guest appearances from Steve Martin and Edie Brickell.\u003cbr\u003e☛ First Edition LP is pressed on maroon vinyl and limited to 1,000 copies worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e☛ Steep Canyon Rangers were the subject of a Rolling Stone feature in 2024, where the magazine championed the band as “one of the most sought-after groups in Americana, bluegrass, and indie-folk.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHBOUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40428220973257,"sku":"477277","price":70.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/477277-Product-0-I-639152720402778197.jpg?v=1779675306","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/vinyl-steep-canyon-rangers-next-act-maroon-vinyl-lp-colour-may-vary","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
