Steve Howell

Steve Howell and the Mighty Men continue their extended journey through the blues, roots, R&B, gospel, and pop music history with an eclectic offering of ten songs called 991/2 Won't Do. After over thirty years of making music together, and in a myriad of other settings, the musical conversation created between them results in an almost intuitive interplay. Here they have come up with a set list for this recording that combines Blues, Gospel, R&B, Roots, and Rock and Roll embracing vocal and instrumental renditions of some of their favorite tunes. Living up to their continued high standards on this release, 991/2 Won't Do provides a journey fueled by thought-provoking and moving songs played by a quartet of veteran musicians with a decidedly high level of skill, depth, and fire.

Been Here And Gone is another diverse set list from Steve Howell and The Mighty Men. Ranging from country blues to rhythm and blues and '60's hits to Appalachian traditional music, this collection of vocals and instrumentals is held together by the stripped-down musical conversation going on inside the playing of the band members. This group of veteran Southern journeymen find a deeply common thread in their renditions of great American music in a way seldom accented these days producing satisfying tributes to great songs and melodies. Been Here And Gone is a wonderful addition to their existing catalog of critically acclaimed music and is a first-class offering.

Steve Howell continues searching for the deep root of American blues and roots music with Gallery Of Echoes, a collection of tunes he has been playing for a long time, some for as many as fifty years.

Steve Howell and The Mighty Men return with their unique take on American blues and roots music on ''Good As I Been To You.'' The addition of New Orleans singer Katy Hobgood Ray adds a wonderful lilt to this musical journey from prewar blues, postwar R&B, and early 1960's pop music through the Memphis blues of Memphis Minnie and the ArkLaTex blues of Leadbelly. On this new release, Steve and the Mighty Men maintain the high level of musicianship and production values that have been consistently recognized by critics and radio across the United States and Europe. Raising the bar once again, Good As I Been To You delivers solid, authentic roots music for the modern day.

On his ninth album, “Long Ago,” Texas guitarist and vocalist, Steve Howell, continues a remarkable creative run that has lasted over a decade exploring the depths of the great American songbook. “I am a lover of American music from the first half of the 20th century. I like it rural, urban, country blues, traditional jazz, Appalachian music, R&B and rock ‘n’ roll. I love it all, “says Howell about his mission to play as much music as he can.

With A Hundred Years From Today, Steve Howell and Jason Weinheimer, veterans of the ArkLaTex region's rich roots-based music scene, bring a wonderful collection of rural country blues and traditional jazz offerings to life on this intimate album. With Howell providing melodic and seasoned finger style guitar and soulful vocals and Weinheimer lending his considerable and widely recognized skills on bass, engineering, mixing and mastering, this record offers an interesting and accessible set list. From Lightnin' Hopkins' ''Goin' Back To Florida'' and Mississippi John Hurt's ''Louis Collins'' to Fats Waller's ''Lulu's Back In Town'' and Hoagy Carmichael's ''Rocking Chair,'' the cuts on this record breathe new life into gems from the past that tap the depths of the human condition.
