Trains Are the Only Way to Fly is a self-released studio album from Audie Blaylock and Redline, the Graves County, Kentucky traditional bluegrass ensemble that Blaylock built around his driving banjo and direct traditional vocal approach, presenting an independent recording outside the formal label structure that Blaylock used throughout his career to reach his audience directly. Blaylock plays banjo and sings; Jesse Brock plays mandolin and sings; Ron Stewart plays fiddle; Terry Barnes plays guitar and sings; and Tom Adams holds the bass. The album presents the ensemble's commitment to the Kentucky traditional hard-driving style in the same format — full acoustic ensemble, clean production, traditional and original repertoire — that characterized their releases on Rural Rhythm Records during the same period.
