Hot Tuna: Steady as She Goes

Red House

For the first new Hot Tuna album in 20 years, band co-founders Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady hunkered down at Levon Helm’s Woodstock, NY studio to work with veteran musician/producer Larry Campbell. The result, Steady as She Goes, showcases the bluesy rock sounds its two legendary leaders are known for while finding a few ways to kick some fresh ass.With the help of mandolinist Barry Mitterhoff, drummer Skoota Warner, and Campbell’s wife, vocalist Teresa Williams, tunes ruminate (“Angel of Darkness”), bounce down the highway (“Goodbye to the Blues”), rock with abandon (“A Little Faster”), crackle with intensity (“Easy Now Revisited”) and breathe with energetic fervor (“If This Is Love”). Kaukonen and Casady have performed together for more than 50 years and, if Steady as She Goes is any indication, they don’t plan to stop anytime soon.
