Railroad Earth played Dec 10 at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, and enthusiasm by loyal fans for the band was high; seemed like everybody was swaying, many singing along. The sound of the six virtuoso musicians was constant and full, almost symphonic at times.
A roots and Americana-based jam band from Stillwater, New Jersey, their name derives from the Jack Kerouac 1957 short story “October in the Railroad Earth.”
The band whose music combines elements of bluegrass, rock and roll, jazz, cowboy, Celtic and psychedelic is known for its extensive live improvisation, and they delivered three energy-packed hours of music, selections from their five albums, starting with The Black Bear Sessions from 2001.
