One of my co-workers plays in this band, the Steel Drivers. I don't normally like Bluegrass, but this is really good stuff. It's certainly not the high and whiny stuff, and the lyrics are considerably darker. They're all really good musicians. The mandolin player, Mike Henderson, is a great guitar player, too, so good that Mark Knopfler took him on the road for his last world tour. The singer, Chris Stapleton, has a killer voice.
They've been signed to Rounder Records. Here's their MySpace:

Nah, only joking!
