Steel Rails - The Petersens (LIVE)

This is one of our favorite bluegrass songs of all time! Louisa Branscomb wrote “Steel Rails“ when she was 20 and it has been recorded by both Alison Krauss and John Denver. 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! Like many bluegrass songs, the lyrics get passed down by ear and we’re so grateful Louisa has since got in touch to share the correct lyrics (so you may notice different words in the captions!) :) ►Live concert version Buy or stream the album ►Need more bluegrass train songs in your life?
