That old saying about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts may or may not apply to The SteelDrivers. It sounds true, though, when you spin the band's self-titled debut album, a set of 11 originals that sound like they've been carved in wood and left in the hills to weather and age. Playing with a breezy virtuosity, these five musicians interact, keeping tempos down to the point they can bounce ideas around spontaneously and allow listeners to hear what's happening.

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then inspiration is the highest form of creativity. Both elements come to play in two recent albums that achieve their excellence through celebrating the late County Music Hall of Fame member Buck Owens.
On Dwight Sings Buck, released by New West Records, Dwight Yoakam, a longtime Owens friend and collaborator, offers 15 songs that include such classics as "Act Naturally," "Together Again" and "My Heart Skips a Beat." And Palo Duro Records has issued Under the Influence of Buck by The Derailers, the Austin-based band forged on its founders' appreciation for Owens. "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail," "Cryin' Time" and "Love's Gonna Live Here" are among the 13 tracks featured on that album.
