Yes, I Believe I Will

Released in 2013, Yes, I Believe I Will is an album by Steve Howell & The Mighty Men, a roots-oriented ensemble based in Shreveport, Louisiana. The recording serves as a quintessential representation of the group's dedication to the American songbook, blending blues, folk, and classic jazz traditions. The project emerged from the band's ongoing efforts to revitalize vintage tracks through stripped-back, authentic arrangements that highlight Howell's distinct fingerstyle guitar work and warm vocal delivery.

The album was produced to capture a live-in-the-room feel, emphasizing acoustic textures and the collaborative chemistry between Howell and his longtime musical partners, Dave Hoffpauir and Jason Weinheimer. The design of the release reflects the band's minimalist and no-frills aesthetic, focusing on the interplay of rhythm and storytelling rather than modern production artifice. Upon its release, it was well-received by listeners of regional roots and blues radio, praised primarily for its understated sincerity and reverence for mid-twentieth-century songwriting styles.
