A Damn Good Ride is a wonderful journey through the musical minefields of Texas Country - written and sung by one of Austin's newest and finest singer / songwriters. Get on it.

I heard Jeremy Steding live at Gruene Music Hall and might have fallen in love with his music that night. He has an amazing voice and a unique sound. I have never heard anything quite like it. It is a mix of old school and new school-and makes you want to hear more. I bought the first CD--and counted down the days until the new one came out. A Damn Good Ride has become one of my favorites!!!

Building a name for himself in the weekday-residency honky-tonk circuit in Austin, Jeremy Steding acquits himself nicely as another young songwriter trafficking in a strain of country music considerably older than himself. His new album, a sophomore effort but a more fully-realized project than his obscure 2008 debut, nicely closes the gap between the old school (chugging Johnny Cash rhythms, fiddle & steel-driven arrangements) and the new school (warmly mixed sonics, smartly self-aware comedy) with a mix of sincerity and cleverness. With a voice so deep it almost booms, Steding can make even the occasional out-there lyric sound catchy (if you can guess what “The Sand Panther Medicine Show” is about after a couple of listens then you’ve got me beat) and make his more straightforward material (like the self-elegy “Let The Boys Drink Whiskey” and the jittery cool of “Can’t Slow Me Down”) sound like both a nod to the classics and a worthy addition to them.

Awesome work! This is what Texas music is all about...

The latest album (A Damn Good Ride) by Jeremy Steding is a true testament to this artist's great talents. Awesome sound and wonderful writing; the lyrics will make you laugh while you sing them!I can't wait for the release party at Shiner's Saloon, September 25th. I'll be there, will you??
