Railroad Earth - Amen Corner
Anticipation has been building for a new Railroad Earth release and for the first time in 4 years, the band members found themselves back in the studio recording all new material. It's definitely a home-grown project, much like the band itself. Railroad Earth's new studio release, Amen Corner, was written and recorded at Lone Croft: an empty, 300 year-old house in New Jersey's rural countryside. What happened inside the building was the experience of a lifetime for the band's members, resulting in an early creative pinnacle of a gifted young band, and an album that is an instant Americana classic.
Amen Corner is a collection of crisp and crafted roots, bluegrass, and acoustic sides that resonates in all the right places. The tunes breathe both on and between the notes. They hit you immediately, but then linger like a good buzz. Look for Amen Corner to hit in June 10, 2008 on SCI Fidelity Records.
Railroad Earth comments, "We've got a few things to talk about right about now. RRE has been locked away for the past couple of months in their studio writing and recording their newest album, now titled 'Amen Corner.' This album includes twelve great new songs and will be released nationwide on June 10th!!"
Amen Corner was recorded with just the band and their longtime live engineer, Mike Partridge, in an old farmhouse out in the woods of Western, NJ. It was a comfortable down-home, family environment, and you can hear that comfortable vibe in every track on the album. The band is feeling good about what they've done and we sure hope you'll feel the same!
Thanks,
Niki Dakota
