American Songwriter[3]

AllMusic's review states that "The Steeldrivers may play traditional bluegrass, but they do it with a style that's informed by outlaw country and rock & roll attitude."[1]

Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine writes, "What the SteelDrivers did so well on their self-titled debut, and what they build on throughout Reckless, is incorporate a heavy dollop of traditional blues and Southern soul into their brand of bluegrass."[2]

American Songwriter writes that "it’s nice to know that Nashville is capable of putting out something besides more bad pop. Produced by Luke Wooten, whose production on Leslie Satcher’s Love Letters was the high point of Nashville music in 2000. Highly recommended, especially since you probably won’t hear this band in this incarnation again."[3]

John Lupton of Country Standard Time begins his review with, "Following the release of their self-titled debut two years ago, the Nashville-based SteelDrivers quickly developed a following for their distinctive blend of bluegrass and blues with a dash of Southern rock"[4]

gollark: No, I don't actually do any electronics ever. I've heard there are fairly good ones now.
gollark: I'm not sure that specifically is much of a barrier though, parsing horribly inconsistently formatted form-type things is fairly tractable now.
gollark: I see.
gollark: I don't think that's what I meant.
gollark: Is that a good idea? It sounds like a somewhat narrow skillset, and many of those things are being automated nowadays.
