Really good CD, this band is a blend of Southern Rock & Outlaw Country. Their sound is fairly consistent among all of their CDs.

Confederate railroad knew how to have fun, as they showed on this, their debut album. Right from the opening track you know that this is a band that is out to have fun. They can play it straight if they choose to, as on Jesus and Mama and the sad You don't know what it's like. When you leave that way you can never go back is a real tear-jerker - the sort of song you might expect George Jones to sing, but all the more effective for being on an album of mostly fun songs.
Perhaps the song with most instant appeal here is the catchy, danceable Queen of Memphis. She took it like a man (the opening track) is about a woman who gets really angry. It was co-written by two men and a woman, so anybody who is upset by it is taking it too seriously. Other amusing songs, also not to be taken too seriously, are Time off for bad behavior, She never cried, Black label white lies and Trashy women.

Confederate Railroad was made up of Danny Shirley (the lead singer), Michael Lamb, Wayne Secrest, Chris McDaniel, Gates Nichols and Mark DuFresne, but my understanding is that only Danny Shirley went into the recording studio, and that regular studio musicians were used on the album. So this might really be a Danny Shirley solo album, but this is still a wonderful album, regardless of who actually recorded it. Just don't take it too seriously.
