I'm a huge fan of these guys. Live in the studio (or house) funky covers of all kinds of pop/rock/etc tunes, with rotating guest vocalists (and some great session musicians):

Amazing musicianship all round. Here's one with a steel guitar:

One of my faves, with Sam Wilkes who is always fun to watch play bass:

Anyway, the especially fun thing I discovered...join their mid-tier Patreon level, and not only do you get to download their entire catalog of tunes (several hundred...great listening material as it satisfies my wife's fondness for pop tunes, but in a style that I dig), but you also get to download instrumental mixes or individual stem tracks for all of their tunes. So as a bassist, I'm having a real fun time making bass-less versions I can jam along with. And if you were an aspiring vocalist this would be an exceptional way to put together an impressive demo track or two, singing along with a really solid band doing fun and inventive arrangements of recognizable tunes.

This is not an ad, I just thought others might dig this as much as I am, or more, if you are recording minded and like this style of music...I've gotten a lot of fun out of my ten bucks so far.

These guys are doing some interesting stuff. I love Rich Hinman's steel playing. He's got a very classic approach but I think he's doing a lot to keep the steel guitar pointed forward.

Cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
