    On their eponymous debut, the duo known as Steel Magnolia continue their winning ways combining her bluesy bruised angel rasp with his slick, keening country pop tenor.

    A true duo, Joshua Scott Jones' rugged rock voice blends and contrasts at the right moments with Meghan Linsey's fluid soul singing.

    Their tracks on Steel Magnolia are reminiscent of Shania Twain, but having two equally strong voices keeps them unique.

    Steel Magnolia are an able, energetic, vocally savvy country pop act, and stress the word pop in that phrase.

  1. The album had it's share of hits and misses, but through all of the misses it still shows promise for the duo. Both singers have excellent voices for their style, and they have pretty good vocal control. They have a creative songwriting style, but the ballads on this album are lacking. Expand
