Since there are people that are just discovering Steve's great CD now, it might interest them to know that the entire album has been tabbed out by Tony Triska and available now. 
This is the link to get it directly from the publisher:

You can also search Amazon and find it.

My son gave me the CD back in the summer, I bought that tab book at IBMA and over the weekend just sat down to see what THE CROW might "feel" like. In 10 minutes I was playing the signature hook licks and in less than 24 hours playing the tune (less the amazing up the neck breaks by Tony & Bela, which Steve says he didn't include in the tab..."cause money might be involved." :)
Steve also says in the tab book that he's a little embarrassed as to how LITTLE MOVEMENT the left hand has to make to play this one. That alone should tell you that this one can be learned pretty easily.
What a FUN TUNE. Easy to learn and fun to play. I'd say anyone who can play Cripple Creek can learn this tune in short order. It's such a natural rhythm once you get rolling.
Cant' remember when I've had this much fun learning a new tune, or got it down so fast.
It's a sweet-sounding tuning (double C), one of Sammy Shelor's favorite tunings to play in (he told us at IBMA) which gets an amazing sound from some really simple movements. TO START...you can actually tune only the second string from B up to C and play most all of the song. I don't know if I even played the 4th string in learning the tune. Very cool...
Give it a try...
p.s. The CD is really FRESH BANJO and some of the tunes took some time to grow on me, but after listening over and over I LOVE this CD. Saw Steve & Steep Canyon Rangers live and was a GREAT SHOW!
