Steep Canyon Rangers - Stand and Deliver

Copied!

I dug my share of treasure
Dug so deep they called it a crime
There might be pleasures I’ve never tasted
But I ain’t wasting no more time
CHORUS
Cause the furnace is burnin’ white-hot
And the hammer is swingin’ with the weight of the world
Now’s the time, like it or not
Stand and deliver, stand and deliver
That old pig’s so proud lyin’ in the mud
And Miss Chicken’s just happy, she ain’t been fried
The buzzards ain’t worried about no flood
But I’m not ready to be satisfied
CHORUS
I got a picture of Teddy Roosevelt
Hangin’ on the wall in my home on the range
But I felt a strange wind blowin’
Tellin’ me something is about to change
CHORUS
Some folks keep their heads in the clouds
Straining for the sound of the angels strumming
I’ve been known to pray out loud
But I ain’t waitin’ for the second coming
CHORUS

The Steep Canyon Rangers are a progressive bluegrass band that was formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1999. The band was initially comprised of Graham Sharp on banjo and harmony vocals, Woody Platt on guitar and lead vocals, and Charles R. Humphrey III on bass and harmony vocals. The trio met while attending the University of North Carolina and bonded over their shared love of acoustic music.

As they began playing impromptu jam sessions together, the group found themselves drawn to the traditional sounds of bluegrass music. Their sound continued to evolve when mandolin player Mike Guggino joined the band, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a deep love for the genre.

The band's big break came in 2009 when actor and banjo player Steve Martin joined forces with them, giving them a major boost in popularity. The collaboration with Martin helped bring the Steep Canyon Rangers to a wider audience, allowing them to showcase their unique blend of traditional bluegrass and modern influences.

With their impressive musicianship and heartfelt songwriting, the Steep Canyon Rangers have become a staple in the bluegrass music scene. They continue to tour and record music, captivating audiences with their energetic performances and infectious sound.
