Brooklyn Vegan premiered the video for “Take My Mind” shot live in-studio during the recording session at the iconic Southern Ground Studios in Nashville and features Oliver Wood and Michael Bearden.  

Produced by the band and Brandon Bell (Zac Brown, John Prine), the album was included in NPR’s New Music Friday notable releases and is already garnering critical acclaim:  

“Damn! This album is so good, you’ll be smiling or crying or dancing with every song.” –No Depression  

“…in the case of a superb album like Arm in Arm, a remarkable experience overall.” –American Songwriter  

“…North Carolina’s Steep Canyon Rangers have always set themselves apart with compelling songwriting and a camaraderie that feels authentic…” –The Bluegrass Situation, Artist of the Month  

Previously released tracks from the album include: “Sunny Days,” which premiered at The Boot;  “Honey On My Tongue;” video;  the video for “Every River,” which received praise from Rolling Stone Country and Asheville Citizen-Times, and “In the Next Life.”

Arm in Arm follows two releases that both debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass chart: North Carolina Songbook, an eight-song live album recorded at Merlefest featuring reinterpretations of songs from cross-generational NC icons; and Be Still Moses, an 11-song collaboration between the band and the Asheville Symphony, which featured a collaboration with Boyz II Men and the Asheville Symphony on the title track.
