When the Steel Wheels stopped by to sing a few songs for Folk Alley, they were out on tour for their latest album, 'Leave Some Things Behind.' The theme of the songs are tied to leaving and going and moving on. The album was recorded in Virginia - close to the stomping grounds of most of the band, who call the Shenandoah Valley home. The group is very tied to place, finding inspiration in the mountain music and natural surroundings that color life in Virginia and producing the annual Red Wing Roots Music Festival. The band stepped out of its habitat to visit Beehive Studios in Saranac Lake, New York and record cuts from the album for Folk Alley.
