Review: Vince Gill charms on ‘I Don’t Wanna Ride The Rails No More’ (Includes first-hand account)

His song’s brand new lyric video is nostalgic and moving. This is the third track from his highly-anticipated forthcoming studio album, Okie.

Gill acknowledged that the “image of riding a train has such great beauty to it,” and rightfully so. He added that it conjures images of the Dust Bowl, The Grapes of Wrath, as well as people hopping freight trains. Gill epitomizes that the country genre of music has to offer.

This is a song that hits home for Gill since he has been riding on a tour bus for over four decades now, so it is the quintessential tune of reflection, yearning, and optimism.

The Verdict

Overall, “I Don’t Wanna Ride The Rails No More” is heartfelt and catchy. Gill’s timeless voice shines on this tune, which is soothing and smooth as silk. His storytelling ability is as strong as ever and this tune ought to be enjoyed for its beauty and simplicity. It garners an A rating.
