The Appalachian folk song “Swannanoa Tunnel” is a cornerstone of Silkroad's American Railroad project.

Moments from the field with Justin Robinson… This tune is “Ryestraw” from our new album “What Did the Blackbird Say to the Crow.” Listen now: giddensrobinson.lnk.to/BlackbirdCrow With the assaults on reality going on in the world today, we wanted to offer another kind of record, like walking back onto a gravel or dirt road while a stampede goes the other way. We doubled down on place, time, realness, and old-fashioned front porch music. It’s a reminder that another way exists, with music made fo
