Golden Rail Motel is the third album by American R&B singer Eamon. It was released on September 15, 2017, by Huey Ave Music. Recording sessions for the album took place between 2016 and 2017 at The Lion's Den and The Space Ship Studios in Los Angeles, California. Golden Rail Motel contains themes of struggle, insanity, redemption, and love, and features a fusion of contemporary R&B and traditional soul music, along with elements of pop and hip hop music.
Golden Rail Motel was released to positive reviews, with one review describing the record as "perfectly placed to slot into the retro-soul ranks", and another saying it is "a declaration that Eamon is here to stay." The run-up single to the record, I Got Soul, featured a well-received one-shot music video directed by film director Douglas Quill.
After experiencing worldwide success with his hit single F**k It (I Don't Want You Back), Eamon succumbed to the pitfalls of fame and fortune, namely drug abuse and addiction for several years following the release of his second album Love & Pain. Eamon, however, was able to recover from his addiction and in 2012 signed a recording contract with an independent label based out of San Francisco whom he recorded an album's worth of material for. The record was shelved after the label went bankrupt and its CFO was convicted of fraud and sentenced to forty-five years in federal prison.
Eamon continued to write and record music. After featuring on a few Jedi Mind Tricks songs, the rap group's producer, Stoupe reached out to Eamon to record vocals for a producer's album he was working on. Both Stoupe and his record label were so pleased with the outcome, they decided to team up to produce the album that would become Golden Rail Motel.
