Steve Earle, “The Mountain“, performed by Benjamin Tod of Lost Dog Street Band // GemsOnVHS™
A compilation of footage we shot out in Wyoming and South Dakota. The train line is the Union Pacific’s overland. The portion taped is between Cheyenne and Green River, Wyoming. This is the first transcontinental railroad in the history of mankind. Ben plays a favorite Steve Earle song in Cheyenne, Wyoming in front of the Chief Washakie statue at the state capitol. The song is not in its original arrangement.
Big thanks to our executive producers, Brad Sirois, Mitchell Davis, Keith McQuillan, David Jameson, Lisa Galvan, Irvin Maddox, Josh Collins, Brady Jones, Julie Nestoroff, and VJ Arizpe for making this thing possible.
You can find Benjamin’s tunes on Spotify ( and catch him on tour with Lost Dog Street Band this summer. You can find the tour dates at
