The Rails - "Mossy Well"

The Rails consist of Kami Thompson (daughter of Linda and Richard Thompson) and James Walbourne of Son Volt and The Pretenders. They just released a new single, "Mossy Well." The new song is pure classic Americana with a slight rock edge. "Mossy Well" is vintage folk with the driving edge of rock. It reminds me a lot of the songs from the movie Once. Of course, given the two band members' musical heritage, this is exactly what you'd want and expect. Add in producer Stephen Street (who has worked with Blur and The Cranberries in the past) and you get a perfect folk song.

You can watch the video for "Mossy Well" below. Cancel the Sun, the new album from The Rails, will be out August 23 on Thirty Tigers. For more on The Rails, check out their website.
