2011 studio album by Hot Tuna
Steady as She Goes is a 2011 album by Hot Tuna, the band's first studio album since 1990.[4] After Jorma Kaukonen recorded his solo album in 2009 at Levon Helm's studio in NY, he asked his new record company Red House if they would be interested in a Tuna album.[5] The band started recording new tracks in November 2010[6] with the same producer and studio that Kaukonen used for River of Time and features the latest lineup of the band that formed in 2009 when Skoota Warner joined on drums. On March 11, 2011, Red House released "Angel of Darkness" as a free single. The album was released on CD and on iTunes April 5, 2011 and was released on vinyl in May.[7] The album first charted on the Tastemaker and Independent album lists compiled by Billboard for the week of April 23.[8]
Released as "Collector's Edition: Half-speed Mastered 180 Gram HQ Vinyl"[9] with only a few hundred made, in gatefold form and including a Hot Tuna tattoo, as well as the CD version, it includes two LPs, with an etched portrait on side four. Each side without the etching has four songs.[10]
