Album Notes

If you're already familiar with the music of Steve Haggard, then you know that he's a truly original artist. Steve's sound is best described as "Genuine American Roots Music", being a potent blend of rockin' country/Americana, flavored with blues, a dash of rockabilly, and a little bit of folk. Based in Nashville, Steve is a man of many talents, being a very distinctive and fine vocalist, a superb songwriter, an acclaimed producer, and an excellent musician. (In addition to playing guitar, Steve is a virtuoso blues harp player.) Despite his being on a small, independent record label -- Wild Oats Records, of course ! -- "the other Haggard" has built a (growing) legion of very devoted fans all around the world. He has performed in 17 countries, and done 50+ overseas tours since 1991, playing everywhere from Europe to the Middle East. Steve's CDs have picked up airplay in more than twenty countries, and have been distributed on five continents. Still, like a lot of the best artists, he has yet to receive the recognition that he deserves... a situation that is changing all the time, though, as more and more people hear Steve's music and become aware of his many talents. Writing in the prestigious Nashville Scene, well-known music journalist Edward Morris called the "Make Your Move" CD "one of the year's best".
