It’s a true understatement to say that Railroad Earth has picked up steam with its self-titled October release. Not only did the album become the band’s first ever Billboard 200 chart debut and a No. 5 spot on the magazine’s Heatseekers list equaling the best first week sales of the band’s career thanks to what critics call “gritty guitars,” “Tom-Petty harmonies” and Wilco-tinged spirit.
