Whether it’s by train or by plane, bluegrass songs love to feature a man on the move. Whether it’s going back to the old home place or on the road to nowhere, some of bluegrass’s most iconic songs talk about going from one place to another. Some excellent jams on this list include Hot Rize’s “Midnight on the Highway,” Norman Blake singing “Going Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains,” and Tim O’Brien covering Gordon Lightfoot’s “Early Morning Rain.” Enjoy this list of Bluegrass on the move!
