Confederate Railroad

Confederate Railroad is a Country group from United States, formed on January 1, 1984.

Confederate Railroad first rolled onto the national country music scene in the early 1990s with its unique style and sound. Headed by founder and frontman Danny Shirley, the former backup band for both David Allan Coe and Johnny Paycheck got their big break by signing with Atlantic Records. The first single from their debut album ("Confederate Railroad") was "She Took It Like A Man". It went to #26, a preview of what was to come. The next two singles, "Jesus and Mama" and "Queen of Memphis" went to the top of the charts. .
