Blue Side of the Mountain - The SteelDrivers - MP3 instrumental karaoke

First impressions are important, so it would make sense that a band such as American bluegrass group The SteelDrivers would put their best foot forward with the first song on their first album. “Blue Side of the Mountain” is the powerful track that opens the group’s 2008 self-titled debut The SteelDrivers. The song was written by Chris Stapleton and Mike Henderson. It was produced by The SteelDrivers along with Luke Wooten. Its lyrics tell the story of a man who leaves his home on the "blue side of the mountain" in search of a better life, but eventually realizes that home is where he belongs. With its striking instrumentation of banjo, mandolin, and fiddle, the song has received recognition for its moving lyrics and heartfelt delivery. “Blue Side of the Mountain” received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The SteelDrivers, its parent album, peaked at Number 57 on the Billboard Country Albums chart.
