Hornsby played Hammond B-3 on six of the tracks. The album titled "Emotional" was released early fall 2001 on Stevie's "Alternative/Urban" record label.

Between 2001 and 2003 Stevie recorded the live Georgia Jam CD tracks, a Southern Rock fusion of live Blues, Rock, Jazz, R&B, Folk, Soul and Country.

In 2007 Stevie released "High Time," a Blues/Soul album with Drew Stawin, Johnny "Guitar" Brown, Spencer Kirkpatrick, Terrell "Cool" Robinson, Wally Tarado and the Atlanta Horns.

2011/12, recorded and released the album, "What The Funk?" The album containing 20 tracks spans the world of Funk, Soul and R&B music from the late 1960's to the present. The album featuries some of the best in their genres: Soul Diva Jocelyn Brown, Sista Monica Parker, Tony Lindsay, Keith Harris, D'Layna, Funk Dogg, Cooley, Jaroslav Jakubovic, The Blues Brothers Horns, The Memphis Horns, Joe Vitale, Thiago Pinheiro, Butch Taylor, Tyrone Chase, Anthony Vitti, Sal Giorgiani, Jennifer Cosaro, Ralph Rosen, Delicious Allstars, Sanj Sen and Chuck Webb, the album's style is a mix of several genres, such as Soul, Blues, Jazz, Latin and the many other influences that make Funk music what it is.

Released as a single in 2014, Stevie covered the Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell classic, "Georgia On My My Mind".

2015 saw Stevie Hawkins being a part of the great steel guitarist Cowboy Eddie Long solo EP project, playing drums and engineering several of the songs alongside producer and guitarist Johnny Carlton. The stellar EP featuring Cowboy Eddie Long, is a mix of contemporary jazz, funk and easy listening. The EP also includes musicians Dean Daughtry of the Atlanta Rhythm Section on keyboards, bassist Gary Land, guitarists Rick Hinkle and Johnny Carlton. Eddie has played steel guitar on 23 albums with Hank Williams, Jr., three albums with Kenny Chesney, two albums with Jamey Johnson, studio work for The Kentucky Headhunters, Blind Boys of Alabama, The Atlanta Rhythm Section, Confederate Railroad and many many others.

Also in 2015, Stevie released a two-song single, "Diamonds In The Sky" featuring the late George Duke and Fender Rhodes and synthesizers, and Blue Lou Marini (Blues Brothers/James Taylor) on saxophone. The second tune is a bluesy Big Band tune titled "Sweet Honey".

About the What The Funk? CD Release:

"What The Funk?" embodies the infuences of Bootsy Collins, Funkadelic, Sly & The Family Stone, Tower of Power, Al Green, Bobby Bland, Marvin Gaye and others. ‘What The Funk?’ was written and recorded over a two year period in (New York - LA - Atlanta - United Kingdom - Nashville - Barbados - Boston), and features Stevie with a fabulous lineup of guest artists and musicians. Those appearing on the album include; Soul Diva Jocelyn Brown, Sista Monica Parker, Tony Lindsay, D'Layna, Funk Dogg, Cooley, Jaroslav Jakubovic, The Blues Brothers Horns, The Memphis Horns, Joe Vitale, Thiago Pinheiro, Butch Taylor, Tyrone Chase, Anthony Vitti, Sal Giorgiani, Jennifer Cosaro, Ralph Rosen, Delicious Allstars, Sanj Sen, Chuck Webb and many more.

Although titled What The Funk?, the album is not entirely comprised of funk tunes. Says Stevie, "The album is a mix of funk, soul, jazz, latin, blues, with rock overtones blended throughout the tracks. Although this is me doin' my thing, me being me, the album pays homage to some of my inspirations and influences as a vocalist and drummer such as Clyde Stubblefield, Tower of Power, Bootsy Collins and P-Funk, Al Green, Bobby Bland, George Clinton, Funkadelic, Sly & The Family Stone, James Brown, Toots Thielemans, Cold Blood, George Duke, Marvin Gaye, Junior Walker, Jimi Hendrix and others. There is a little something here for everyone. You get the funk, and then some!"

With soulful vocals, deep drivin' bass, slick guitars, a big~n~tight in your face horn section, smooth Fender Rhodes, super-funky drums, Hammond B-3 organ and clavinet, the heavy guns on this new album fire with all barrels.
