“It’s been a long time in the making, and it took a strong look inward to finally make it happen. I’ve spent the bulk of my career helping others create their music, through teaching, touring, producing, and mentorship. Behind the scenes is where I’m most comfortable, but I’m thrilled to finally let the world get a peek at who I am as a musician, a producer, and a songwriter,” says Stephen Mougin.
“Railroad Man” is written by Stephen Mougin and labelmate Becky Buller and performed by Sam Bush (vocals/fiddle), Todd Parks (bass), Ned Luberecki (banjo), Chris Brown (drums) and Alan Bartram (vocals). The track is anchored by a catchy fiddle tune that is embedded in the story.
