Good Corn Liquor - The SteelDrivers - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Good Corn Liquor" is a song from The SteelDrivers' second album, Reckless (2010). Written by songwriters Chris Stapleton and Ronnie Bowman, the song tells a rich, textured story of moonshine running, hardship, and familial love. Musically, the song is a traditional bluegrass affair, acoustic and raw. Anchored by a mandolin, a fiddle hook, and a banjo, the song's rhythmic structure drives the narrative forward, punctuated by a resonant dobro and gravelly vocals. The catchy chorus serves to encapsulate the story's tension and resolution. "Good Corn Liquor" showcases The SteelDrivers' distinct blend of bluegrass, blues, and a dash of Southern rock. The track stands out in Reckless, an album lauded by American Songwriter for its departure from mainstream Nashville sounds. It is produced by Luke Wooten and The SteelDrivers themselves, and it underlines the innovative streak of the band, bringing out the outlaw spirit in bluegrass. As the second track on the album, "Good Corn Liquor" sets the stage for a journey through blue-collar life, struggles, and the desire for liberation.
