Produced by Cody Shuler, the recordings features 12 songs that tell stories of heartbreak, tragedy, hope and hobo life. “My Home Is On This Ole Boxcar” is the first single from the album. It takes the listener back to another place in time, when trains were the fastest way to run away from something, come home, or just ride.
Other highlights from the album include “Listen to the Hammer Ring”, a song about a prison camp inmate in Georgia in the 1940s and “The Day Love Was Nailed To a Tree”, based on the story of Jesus being sentenced to death as the multitudes listening to him speak showing the ultimate of his love.
The musicians who participated in the album include former members of Pine Mountain Railroad; Terry Baucom, Scott Vestal, Ron Stewart, Tim Crouch, Rob Ickes, EliJohnston, Brent Lamons and Scott Linton.
At 15, Cody Shuler began playing mandolin for legendary banjo master Raymond Fairchild before joining Pine Mountain Railroad in 2006. He led the band to several effective albums including Alone with Forever, “Pickin’, Praisin’, & Singin’ and the self-titled album Cody Shuler & Pine Mountain Railroad.
