Award-winning Bluegrass singer/songwriter Jim Hurst is back with his brand new single, “One More Lonesome Train.” Available today via Pinecastle Records, it marks the Tennessee native’s first release of new music in over two years following the previous album, From The Ground Up.

"I think of this as a metaphoric look at missing someone,” says Hurst. “Cold iron, and loneliness. I met Scott in Virginia and heard him perform this song with his group; he agreed to let me have a go at recording it... I really love that my two 'adults' are singing with me!"

“One More Lonesome Train” is a hard-driving Bluegrass anthem that was penned by Scott Patrick. Its lyrics delve into themes of loneliness, using powerful metaphors to reflect on the emotional journey of life and moving forward. The song features Jim Hurst on guitar and lead vocals, with an exceptional band including Michael Gaisbacher on bass, Matthew Wingate on mandolin, Kyle Triplett on banjo, Christian Ward on fiddle, and vocal harmonies by Jim’s son Brandon Hurst (tenor) and daughter Crystal Hurst Tesh (high baritone). The track beautifully showcases Hurst’s signature laid-back style and expert guitar picking.
