"If honky-tonk has a future, hopefully it will sound a lot like [Arty Hill's] 'Driftin' In' or "Bring out the Bible (we ain't got a prayer).'"

- Houston Press


"Back on the Rail" is the first full-length release from Baltimore's country/rockabilly champs Arty Hill & The Long Gone Daddys. Featuring Arty Hill's soulful vocals and peerless songwriting, Dave Chappel's masterful Telecaster, and Craig Stevens' driving shuffle-beat.

Alt-Country Godfather Jason Ringenberg (Jason and the Scorchers) says:

I first met Arty Hill in a small Baltimore club in 2004. He handed me a CD, said he was an old fan, and asked me to listen to it...I was profoundly glad I did. I was thoroughly impressed, especially with the song "Tammerlane." Simply put, the song floored me.

I saw Arty again at another Maryland show six months later. He was in fact the only paying audience member there to see me! He ended up on stage with me singing harmony on my old Jason and the Scorchers songs and ripping out fabulous punkgrass guitar licks. He made the night for me. Without his presence I probably would have been borderline suicidal after that show!!

He gave me a full copy of his new CD. Again I was most impressed. Songs like "Jackson Shake," "Drifting In," and "Back On The Rail" perfectly delivered that jumping old country vibe so many try to nail and so many fail at. Great songs, great production, and great singing/picking - it's all here. And pay close attention to "Tammerlane." It is a masterpiece.
