Steep Canyon Rangers find an unlikely, but welcome, group of collaborators in the hit Nineties R&b group Boyz II Men, who add their voices to a newly released version of “Be Still Moses.” The gospel tune, originally recorded by Steep Canyon Rangers and released on the 2007 album Lovin’ Pretty Women, is the first for Scr under a new agreement with Yep Roc records.
