Blackfoot - Train, Train

Oh, here it comes
Well, train, train, take me on out of this town
Train, train, Lord, take me on out of this town
Well, that woman I'm in love with, Lord, she's Memphis bound
Well, leavin' here, I'm just a raggedy hobo
Lord, I'm leaving here, I'm just a raggedy hobo
Well, that woman I'm in love with, Lord, she's got to go
Well, goodbye pretty mama, get yourself a money man
Goodbye, pretty mama, Lord, get yourself a money man
You take that midnight train to Memphis
Lord, leave me if you can
Oh, take that midnight train to Memphis
Lord, leave me if you can
Oh, take that train, baby

Pat Matheny's Last Train Home is an all timer for me

Duff McKagan - Tenderness

Great song...hadn't heard it before. Thank you.

Doesn't make my list, though, because I don't hear the train....

Cause you weren't holding your ear to the ground

Allman Brothers - January 30, 1971, Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA

The entire box set is on Spotify in case any of you wanna listen to it.

87F / 58% RH / 10 mph - fairly nice day although hot at times

Warrior Breaks 386

deftones

The Raconteurs - Help Us Stranger

Here's one for you....one of the greatest train songs of all time, and I'm sure you know it.....and you can definitely hear the train....

Jethro Tull- Locomotive Breath

Yep....ty....used to was a Tull fan...that definately should have been on this list

Underappreciated

I still enjoy White Pony every so often....hasn't aged extremely well, I'll admit, however.....then again not much metalish stuff from that period has

Allman Brothers - January 31, 1971, Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA

Duane’s slide seems more “screamy” than the other two nights. Wonder if he was using a different guitar?

81F / 73% RH / 15 mph - a few night showers but other than that, a great day

Frampton comes alive - Do you feel like we do

Boz Scaggs... Whooooaaaa LIDO!

The good and bad about working in a record store:

Good - we used to be able to listen to new artists / releases before they hit the shelves. It was SOP for the record companies to send out demos of the new albums a week or so prior to shipping to the distributors or stores. As such, we would listen to all the new stuff and in a lot of cases, tell which ones were gonna be hits. When “FCA” came out, we knew it would sell. What we didn’t know is that it would be a mega hit...which then led to the Bad:

Bad - when an album would become popular, it seemed like every Tom, ****** and Harry would come into the store and request that we put an album that was a hit but had been pumping out hits for like the last 4 months. I mean, really, you never heard any songs from this album? Coupled with constant airplay, we would eventually grow sick of the albums. “FCA” was a perfect example. While I did like it initially, I heard so much of it I just grew sick of Frampton (...and specifically, “FCA”...). The guy is a damn good guitarist too but most people overlook that.

“Silk Degrees”!

Yet another example of an album that I liked in the beginning and then hated after too much store and radio play.

Strangely though, years later I came back to like the album and even bought the CD when it came out. Les Dudek on lead guitar was the bomb!
