Today, Southern rock band The Steel Woods are releasing "The Man From Everywhere," the third single from their fourth studio album, On Your Time, The single premiered at Holler magazine and is available on all streaming services HERE. Holler writes, "In the same way that songwriters like Tom T. Hall and John Prine seemed to be magically able to catch a story as if it was blowing in on the wind before letting it float away again, we can almost feel this “man from everywhere" just passing by as the song unfolds. All we get is a moment of time in his story before he’s gone again, but that moment tells us everything we need to know."

Co-founder, vocalist and guitarist Wes Bayliss shares the inspiration for the song: "It’s a song loosely based on the story of Uncle Lloyd as a prequel to the Darrell Scott song we cut on our first record, It's written from the perspective of a man who just can’t seem to get things right; hinting that his drinking and gambling addictions are the reason he’s abandoned every good thing he’s ever had going for him. When Connie and I were writing this one I started really getting excited about the record and realizing this crazy idea I had could actually be great."
The Steel Woods have captivated audiences with their powerful sound and heartfelt lyrics over their past three albums. With On Your Time, they embark on a poignant and emotional journey loosely following the trajectory of Uncle Lloyd, a charming but dissolute character first introduced on The Woods' debut album, 2017’s Straw in the Wind. This ambitious album not only showcases their musical evolution and episodic storytelling abilities but also serves as a tribute to the vision and legacy of their late co-founder, Jason "Rowdy" Cope, who passed away just before the release of their third album, All of Your Stones. Led by Bayliss, the band's guitarist, lead vocalist and co-founder, The Steel Woods have poured their heart and soul into this album, creating a record that reflects their resilience, growth and unwavering spirit.
On Your Time finds the band back with an album that reveals calm and introspective thoughts as well delivering the gripping country and rock and roll that’s found them lauded by Rolling Stone Country, Whiskey Riff, Saving Country Music and Wide Open Country, among others. The band, who’ve shared stages with Cody Jinks, Cody Johnson and Miranda Lambert and graced festival stages nationwide, are currently on an extensive U.S. tour to support the album (scroll down for complete dates and ticket info).
