"High Steppin'" comes from Closer Than Together, the Avett Brothers' tenth studio album, which American Recordings and Republic put out on October 4, 2019. Scott and Seth Avett sing it, and they wrote it with bassist Bob Crawford.
Rick Rubin produced, and he gives the folk-rock band a bigger, stranger room to play in. Scott Avett sits at the piano, Crawford and drummer Mike Marsh hold down the bottom, and a string section of Tania Elizabeth on fiddle, Joe Kwon on cello and Kristin Wilkinson on viola crowds in around them, while Jason Lader stirs in synthesizer and electric guitar. Dana Nielsen recorded and mixed it, with Sean Badum and Rob Bisel assisting on the recording.
