THE BOXCARS, "THE Boxcars," Mountain Home Records. 13 tracks.


When they call The Boxcars a supergroup, they're not kidding.


Just look at their credentials.


Adam Steffey and John Bowman once played with Alison Krauss & Union Station.


Ron Stewart, Harold Nixon and Bowman are graduates of J.D. Crowe & The New South.


Keith Garrett and Nixon were members of Blue Moon Rising.


And Steffey and Stewart were in The Dan Tyminski Band.


Garrett is the band's lead singer, but Bowman and Steffey each sing lead on two songs and Stewart on one.


They're strong pickers too. Steffey is the International Bluegrass Music Association's 2010 mandolin player of the year.


And they're good songwriters Full Review in The Victoria Advocate
