 “West Virginia Rail” is the first single written by Joe Hott, Glen Duncan and Adam Engelhardt and is a hard driving train song that never slows down.

‘West Virginia Rail’is
a song that tells my story but resonates with many others. The song
tells the story of a young person who needs to work but living in the
mountains there are not many opportunities. He knows to find work and
make an honest living he must leave his home, a situation he is not
comfortable with since he is 

leaving
behind the only place he has ever known. He takes a new job in the big
city working 9 to 5 in a rundown factory and even though his new
lifestyle is going well, and he is making the money that he wanted to
make he still misses his home in the mountains. The song goes on to tell
that when the whistle blows on Friday evening he is headed back to his
home in West Virginia to be among his family and friends until he has to
go back to reality for the work week. He knows his visit back home will
be short and he tells the engineer driving the train to not waste any
time and to hold that throttle wide open for he’s leaving this town for
God’s own country on that ‘West Virginia Rail’ “.

About Joe Hott:

Joe
Hott is a new face and voice for a world of listeners ready to discover
that “all things old become new.” The lanky 6 foot preacher’s son found
a fascination early in life with the tradition-steeped sounds of
artists like Dr. Ralph Stanley, Flatt & Scruggs, Hank Williams, Sr.
and Bill Monroe. This spun the fabric of Joe’s creative inspiration,
formed his vocal interpretations and set the foundation for his
songwriting. Now, after years of touring Appalachia and developing a
musical identity of his own, Joe has earned the support of WSM Radio and
a partnership with national retailer Durango Boots.
