I know I hardly post here lately — just really busy with other stuff, but I did want to mention something I’m doing daily over on twitter — I’m running a #hobocast, linking a particular show over for folks to stream. I’m at 27 shows or so at this point and have been enjoying it. […]

In 2006, following the release of Railroad Earth’s “Elko” live album, Rolling Stone […]

I think I’m going to start posting any and all news I find that I deem mentionable here, seeing as www.railroadearth.org isn’t much of a going concern of late. I have some thoughts about things I want to put here but need to chew on them a bit.
