“Where Rainbows Never Die” is a song by the SteelDrivers, the Tennessee bluegrass band, recorded for their 2010 album “Reckless.” The lead vocal was sung by Chris Stapleton, then the band’s singer, before his later career in country music.
The song is the meditation of an old man near the end of his life. He looks back over hard country — cotton fields and muddy water — and forward to a crossing-over, to passing through the muddy water and coming out clean on the other side, in a place where rainbows never die.
The song became one of the SteelDrivers’ best-known numbers.
