notes

Celebrating Amercian roots music, Steppin' In It is an acoustic quartet with hearts based in tradition and minds forever moving in creative directions. The combination of multi-instrumentalists Andy and Joe Wilson, upright bassist Dominic Suchyta and singer/songwriter Joshua Davis is a rootsy roller coaster ride of original and traditional music. Playing everything from blues to bluegrass, calypso to cajun, woeful waltzes to western swing, Steppin' In It has become one of Michigan's most sought after live acts.

"On their debut release Children Take Your Shoes Off, Michigan based Steppin' In It play an assortment of musical genres with remarkable panache and sincerity. While Steppin' In It can jam, the band prides themselves on writing remarkably concise songs, which avoid excessive pentatonic noodling or show-off soloing. Instead, the band actually follows the standard blues cliché "just feel the music," and as a result Children Take Your Shoes Off should unquestionably be considered the sleeper album of 2000."

    I've seen many incarnations of Steppin In It since they formed in my basement. Like fine wine they get better with time. This new album highlights their excellent musicianship and love for life. Great job boys!

    I enjoyed all of the music on this CD. Especially liked the fishing song. They all have a great beat and easy to listen to the music. They are real foot tappin'

    This is one of my favorite cd's of all time. This cd plays like seeing the band live - they keep it mixed up and they keep it fun - while their mass talents shine through.

  • Wonderfully fun and different.

    You can get up and dance or just sit and listen -- these guys make great music and on the live tracks especially you can tell they're having fun. I bought this because I'd been given their 2nd album and loved it. Now I can't tell you which I like more.

  • as with the second album, i really enjoyed the vaiety of this first one.

    as with the second album, i really enjoyed the vaiety of the first. this one however displayed more of their 'country roots', and for someone who doesnt like country..i never thought i'd like the fiddle so much!

  • A Must!
