Steve West's first CD "Songs of Love and other Natural Disasters" was recorded at Pod Studios in Minneapolis with Leo Whitebird engineering, Steve had the talents of a number of local musicians and friends with him in the studio : Leo Whitebird on Lead Guitar and Bass, Matt Guidry on Harmonica, Roady Tate on Guitars & Mandolin, Sally Heinz on Flute, Andy Anda on Fiddle, Kraig Olmstead on Drums, Dan Beck on Bass, and special guest Annie Ragz with Vocals on "Do You Want to Dance?"
With over 30 years of playing music solo or with a number of bands in Minnesota, Wisconsin & Texas, Steve West has developed his own unique style of Folk/Pop/Rock. The 8 original songs on his CD, from the folksy "Rivertown" (a song about his farming relatives who live in the Red River Valley and the floods of a few years ago) to the mellow Pop of "Lonely Man" (a song about being on the road) to the Rock & Roll of "I'm on a Roll" (a song about just working and playing hard) reflect on his experience and versatility as a musician and artist..

Reviewer: Heather Corcoran
You will LOVE this CD!!!! Funny man Steve West brings a bit of comic relief to his debut release, “Songs of Love and Other Disasters”. Singing on personal experiences, this singer/songwriter does not pick a certain direction with his music. He’s covered the long, winding highway of jazz, soul, blues, folk and a curve of rock in the release. Each song has it’s own combination of instrumentation, making each song fun & lively. One song not to be missed is Steve’s cover of Bobby Freeman’s “Do you want to Dance”. Steve’s vocals on this track make it purely enjoyable! An excellent CD to relax with, its comfort food for the ears!

I picked this CD up at a Dunn. Bros. show in Nov. 2004 and I was immediately hooked on the opening track RIVERTOWN with its haunting melody and backwater beat. DANCING LADY is just a tune that grows on you after a while and could be sub-popsy hit if you ask me. The storytelling of LOST LOVE makes this one a great folk epic and YOU BETTER RUN is a song so many can identify with! Do yourself a favor, pick this CD up, get some headphones and escape into the journey that is Steve West's Songs of Love and other Natural Disasters.
