Steel Magnolia To Release Debut Album September 21st

Steel Magnolia will release their self-titled debut album on September 21st.

The album includes Steel Magnolia’s smash hit, “Keep On Lovin’ You,” as well as their brand new single, “Just By Being You (Halos and Wings),” which is currently a Top 5 highest-streamed video on CMT.com and rises to #41 this week on the Billboard Top Country Songs Chart.

2010 has been a whirlwind year for Meghan Linsey and Joshua Scott Jones, the duo that comprise Steel Magnolia. So far the rising stars have broken a decades-long Billboard record and earned a million downloads of their Top 5 break-out hit, “Keep On Lovin’ You.”

Despite all of Steel Magnolia’s recent successes, getting to this point hasn’t been an easy road for the duo.

“There’s a Queen song called, ‘We are the Champions,’ “ says Jones. “There’s a line in the song that says.. “It’s been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise, I consider it a challenge before the whole human race, and I ain’t gonna lose”. It’s true – it hasn’t been a bed of roses for me. I grew up dirt poor in Illinois. I don’t think you always have to know how you’re going to do something, you just have to have the determination to do it.”

“I knew at a very young age, exactly what I wanted to do,” echoes Meghan Linsey. “I started coming to Nashville when I was 14 and moved when I turned 18. I found my ‘niche’ working in karaoke bars in downtown Nashville. I didn’t have money or connections or much of anything, I had no idea how all of this was going to work out, I just always believed that it would.”

Steel Magnolia wrote 7 of the 12 tracks on their upcoming album debut, including the haunting ballad, “Glass Houses,” penned solely by Joshua Scott Jones. They also recording “Homespun Love,” which was penned by country music superstar Keith Urban.
