HANDS (DEMO)
David CArter and the Railroad Spikes
Check out The Railroad Spikes’ newest release!
Hands (Demo), released as a single, features two demo versions of a new David Carter and the Railroad Spikes original.
The demo version is a rough recording that captures the energy of the band and shows how the band has grown and changed since the release of “To A Friend, From A Friend”, their first EP.
The Green Grass Version is a rendition of the song featuring just two acoustic guitars and vocals, taking the song back to its roots in the bluegrass subgenre of country music.
You can listen to both versions now on ALL streaming services!
