The band, which has rocked the country charts with songs like “Trashy Women” and “Elvis & Andy,” will be performing at Denim & Diamonds tonight as part of the dance hall’s Friday night concert series. Danny Shirley, lead singer for the country music band, said in Close Up magazine that the band is not concerned about fit ting the ideal mold for a country music group. “I think a lot of the success of the Railroad is the honesty,” Shirley said. “Somebody said to me, ‘Boy, your image develop ment is going real well.’ I said, ‘My what?’ I’m just representing the people I come from. We’re just ourselves.” Shirley said he and the five other Railroaders knew from the beginning what they were trying to get across to people with their music. “If we had pretended to be something we weren’t, whether people realized it consciously or not, they would have seen through us,” he said. “We might have had a few hits and made a few dollars, but peo ple would have known.” Confederate Railroad’s mem bers have been together for 13 years and began as back-up bands for Johnny Paycheck and David Allan Coe. The group got its first major recording contract in 1992. When the group hit the coun try music charts, they made an immediate mark on the indus try, soaring to the top of the charts with “Jesus and Mama,” “Queen of Memphis” and “When You Leave That Way.” In the Close Up inter- view, Shirley also ad dressed the the band’s b a d - b o y image. “I got asked one time, ‘Do guys actually drink and party raise hell like your imagi Shirley said. “I said ‘yeah.’We It’s nothin’ for us to get donet a show and go out to a bar throw down some Jack Da and get loud and unruly.” DOUGLAS JEWELERS IN THE NEW Texas A&M University Watch by SEIKO A Seiko Quartz timepiece officially licensed by the University.
