The Story About El Camino

We've been performing the song El Camino since 10 City Run started. We learned it from Buffalo Nickel on MP3.com several years ago before the website went down. When we signed our record deal we knew right away that we were going to include this great song. It wasn't until afterwards we learned the story behind the songwriter and we thought we'd share it with you.
Emily Graham (1971 - 2002)

Emily Graham was a charismatic, down-to-earth singer/songwriter; in the spirit of John Prine or Townes Van Zandt, who could make you laugh or cry with just a simple turn of phrase. She wrote and played music with the Mississippi based band Buffalo Nickel from 1999 until the time of her death in July of 2002. Read more about Emily Graham here.
