Soul Step Announces the repress of SSR-058!

After the success that Bendigo Fletcher has seen under their new contract with Elektra Records all of the releases we did with the band quickly sold out. Demand continues for these releases so we are back with another Bendigo Fletcher re-press to meet the loud demands to get these records back in print.

Soul Step Records proudly announces the repressing of SSR-058, Bendigo Fletcher’s newest release, “Memory Fever.” This LP is an incredible release full of Kentucky fried Indie Folk.

Bendigo Fletcher, for fans of early My Morning Jacket, Nathaniel Rateliff and The Fleet Foxes. “Memory Fever” will slowly carry you and your troubles away from the moment you drop the needle on the turntable. Full of lush harmonies with steady strumming guitars. This is a perfect album for anyone wanting music that makes them feel Kentucky Bluegrass underneath their feet. Come tap in and see why we are having to re-press this record.

Available to Soul Step Subscribers on November 23rd and to the general public on November 25th or following a limited edition vinyl sellout.

Soul Step Records Announces SSR-099 & SSR-100!

We are so thrilled to bring to our fans a living love letter to the work supporting independent artists over the years with SSR-099 and SSR-100 - There Is No Finish Line, Vol 2 & 3!

On SSR-099 we went back and plucked some of our favorite tracks from the releases from SSR-042 to now. An incredibly difficult task indeed but this should stand strong as a testament to the quality music that we've been lucky enough to partner up and release.

With SSR-100 we went back and hand selected not just the best tracks we’ve released via our Footprint Series imprint, but also went back and added some tracks that should have been part of this series to make a perfect compilation to share with anyone who loves Country, Western, Folk, Americana, Appalachian and more.

I cannot think of a better way to support the label and our future endeavors. If you appreciate what we do - please pick up a copy. Maybe you want to turn a friend onto our label so this makes a perfect gift for anyone wanting to discover their newest favorite artists.

The limited edition vinyl will go on sale for Soul Step Subscribers on Saturday, December 14th at 1PM EST. Sign up to not miss the drop!

We want this to go on forever. For there to be NO FINISH LINE. 🏁 🏁

Soul Step Records Announces SSR-103!

Soul Step Records is proud to announce the latest release from one of Country’s best new voices, Sterling Drake. His latest release, “The Shape I’m In” is another classic set of Country & Western tunes.

Sterling Drake’s debut full-length album ‘The Shape I’m In’ is a lively jaunt through the landscapes of roots music. Produced by Grammy-winning Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Thorleifur Davidsson, the 14-track record subverts expectations and reimagines the familiar sounds that have shaped the country genre.

Recorded at the Bomb Shelter in East Nashville, ‘The Shape I’m In’ unfolds as a nearly autobiographical telling of Sterling’s adventures as an artist. The album stands out for its innovative approach, marking Sterling’s transition from interpreting the styles of his musical heroes to establishing his own unique voice. Inspired by legends like Willie Nelson, Roger Miller, Don Williams, The Dubliners, and Paul Brady, Sterling has developed a sound that reflects the depth and breadth of these influences while exploring new ideas.

The record features a cast of highly acclaimed musicians including Jeff Taylor, Dennis Crouch, Russ Pahl, Billy Contreras, Aksel Coe, and Davidsson, among others. Tracks range from introspective to raucous, marrying the Nashville sound of the 1960s with Delta blues and intricate Celtic traditional melodies, delivering a musical arc that is diverse yet cohesive.

This album is a significant milestone for the award-winning musician, highlighting his growth from a young honky tonk singer to a seasoned artist. ‘The Shape I’m In’ promises to connect with fans of country music and newcomers alike.

Sterling has continued to show his growth with every release and we here at Soul Step Records are honored for his latest effort, “The Shape I’m In” that will be available for Pre-order on 3/13/25 and will be fully released on 5/2/25.
