Album Notes North Carolina singer, fiddler, and banjo player Riley Baugus performs this collection of venerable folk songs and instrumentals in the time-honored Appalachian tradition, sounding as if he's been plucked straight from the Civil War-era South. Songs like the title track and "I'm Troubled" echo down the ages, while Baugus's unaccompanied vocal on the old religious song "Cool of the Day" is a pure delight.
Editorial Reviews A field recording that preserves and protects....LONG STEEL RAIL carries an abiding dignity rarely found in modern media. No Depression
