500 Miles

Single (2022)

Alice Howe brings her soulful, impeccably-tuned voice to the classic “500 Miles,” appearing on the new compilation album Americana Railroad, a tribute to the rich history of train songs in American music. The record, released via BMG/Renew Records in June 2022, features 19 tracks from artists such as John Fogerty, Dustbowl Revival, Dave Alvin, Dom Flemons, and others.

Produced and arranged by Alice’s creative partner Freebo, who also played fretless bass and acoustic guitar on the track, this lush reimagining of “500 Miles” is a far cry from well-known versions of the song that listeners may remember from the ‘60s. Supporting Alice's emotional vocals is a sensitive yet driving track featuring Jeff Fielder on electric guitar, Dave Pearlman on pedal steel, and John Molo on drums.
