Grammy-winning Americana quintet The SteelDrivers have been going for 20 years and have recently released new single and title track of their upcoming album, “Outrun”, alongside a video. The new album will arrive on May 23rd, 2025 on Sun Records.

Written by the SteelDrivers’ own Tammy Rogers (fiddle) and Matt Dame (guitar) along with longtime SteelDriver co-writer Leslie Satcher, “Outrun” was written in the eleventh hour ahead of the recording of Outrun.

Rogers says:

I happened to run into [Satcher] the weekend before we were scheduled to go into the studio and told her we didn’t have any ‘Leslie songs’ on the upcoming record. She made the time to get together and ‘Outrun’ was written in about an hour and a half!

Mandolinist Brent Truitt calls it his favorite song from the new project, adding:

‘Outrun’ has all the elements that will likely elevate it to a SteelDriver classic in short order.

Described as “part murder-ballad, part getaway thriller,” “Outrun” uses verse vignettes to tell its story while the song’s chorus lists some universal principles and aspects of life and death that you can’t outrun.
