Description

Rails, Rogues & Wrecks features railroad favorites The Wreck Of The Old 97, Waiting For A Train and The Rock Island Line. Rick also wrote two songs for the project:
Runnin Out Of Track and Cody & Lil Missie.

Cody & Lil Missie tells the true story of the wreck of Buffalo Bills Wild West Show train on October 29, 1901.
The train wreck occurred near the same stretch of road just north of Danville, Virginia where the Old 97 met her fate in 1903.

Rick is a direct descendant of Buffalo Bill Cody and has always been intrigued by the story behind this little known train wreck.
The injuries Annie Oakley suffered brought an end to her long association with the Colonel and the Wild West Show.
Although Bill regrouped and toured on, the beginning of the end was drawing near for Buffalo Bill and the Wild West Show.

This recording been generously supported by a grant from the
Illinois Arts Council.

Featured musicians include: Tom Boyd of Dry Branch Fire Squad and Drew Carson of Special Consensus.
