Railroad Earth

Railroad Earth’s bluegrass influenced music is driven by the remarkable songs of front man, Todd Sheaffer, and delivered with seamless arrangements and superb musicianship, courtesy of all six band members. They got their start in 2001 when a bunch of talented friends were interested in strumming some rootsy music together, and by 2008, the band released their fourth studio album, Amen Corner, which was written and recorded at Sheaffer’s 300-year old farmhouse in the rural New Jersey countryside. Compared to the sterility and stress of a commercial studio—where the cost-clock ticks and the pressure of performing under a budget looms large—recording at home is like heaven on earth… and the album captures that feeling from beginning to end.
