In March 2016 Billy Bragg and Joe Henry, guitars in hand, boarded a Los Angeles-bound train at Chicago’s Union Station looking to reconnect with the culture of American railroad travel and the music it inspired. Winding along 2,728 miles of track over four days, the pair recorded classic railroad songs in waiting rooms and at trackside while the train paused to pick up passengers.
Pre-order the album now from the official store or iTunes to receive an instant download of The Midnight Special, and check out the Shine A Light website for more video snippets and updates from Billy and Joe’s journey.
