Steel Rails - The Petersens (LIVE)

This is one of our favorite bluegrass songs of all time! Louisa Branscomb wrote Steel Rails and it was recorded by the one and only, Alison Krauss. We performed this song years ago when Emmett first joined our group and worked it back up because so many of you requested it in the comments! And this is our first video with the blonde dobro Emmett acquired in early 2021. It’s a Byrl with a deeper sound, perfect for hard-driving bluegrass songs. His original mahogany Scheerhorn isn’t going anywhere, it’s just more suited to melodic, pretty songs. We also bought Emmett a travel dobro for Christmas so he doesn’t have to put his in the belly of an airplane when we’re on tour. A man can never have too many dobros, right? ►Need more bluegrass train songs in your life? Kentucky Borderline Santa Train White Train
