Confederate Railroad is an American country music band founded in 1987 in Marietta, Georgia by Danny Shirley (lead vocals), Michael Lamb (lead guitar), Mark Dufresne (drums), Chris McDaniel (keyboards), Gates Nichols (steel guitar, Dobro<!--Dobro is a trade name, leave it capitalized-->), and Wayne Secrest (bass guitar). After serving as a backing band for outlaw country act David Allan Coe, the band signed to a recording contract with Atlantic Records, releasing their self-titled debut album that year.
To date, Confederate Railroad has released ten studio albums; in addition, more than twenty of their singles have entered the ''Billboard (magazine)|Billboard'' Hot Country Songs charts. Only two changes in membership have occurred, both in the late 1990s-early 2000s: Michael Lamb was replaced by Jimmy Dormire on lead guitar, and Cody McCarver took over for Chris McDaniel, the band's original keyboardist. In addition to his work with Confederate Railroad, McCarver has released one solo album and two singles.
The band's most recent compilation, a compilation of cover songs entitled ''Cheap Thrills'', was issued on the independent Shanachie Records|Shanachie label in 2007.
