Throwback Thursday: Blackfoot – Train, Train
Blackfoot – Train, Train
Album: Strikes
Released: 1979
This song was written by bluegrass and Delta blues musician “Shorty” Medlocke – the grandfather of this band’s frontman Rickey Medlocke. The song is best remembered for its harmonica intro, performed by Shorty, which mimics the sound of a steam locomotive blowing its whistle, pulling out of the station and accelerating to full speed.
