Description

Confederate Railroad Live at Club Rodeo Tuesday, March 29th, 2022. Confederate Railroad was founded in 1987 by Danny Shirley, Michael Lamb, Gates Nichols (May 26, 1944 – August 14, 2009),[3] Chris McDaniel, Wayne Secrest (April 29, 1950 – June 2, 2018),[4] and Mark Dufresne. The six members began playing at bars in and around Atlanta, Georgia and Augusta, Georgia.[5] Over time, they also worked as a road band for David Allan Coe and Johnny Paycheck. Shirley had previously been signed to the Amor record label as a solo singer, charting five times on the country charts between 1984 and 1988.[6] After several years in the Atlanta area, the band signed with Atlantic Records in 1992 and released its self-titled debut album. The album produced six hit singles and was certified 2× Platinum in the U.S.[5] In 1993, Confederate Railroad was awarded Best New Group at the ACM awards.[7] In order of release, these singles were "She Took It Like a Man", "Jesus and Mama", "Queen of Memphis" (their highest chart peak, at No. 2), "When You Leave That Way You Can Never Go Back", "Trashy Women" and "She Never Cried". Notorious was the band's second album. Released in 1994, it was certified platinum as well. The album was led off by the No. 9 "Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind", followed by the No. 20 "Elvis and Andy" and finally "Summer in Dixie", which failed to make Top 40. Also in 1994, Shirley and Mark Collie co-wrote and sang guest vocals on Billy Ray Cyrus's "Redneck Heaven", an album cut from his 1994 disc Storm in the Heartland.[8]
