Freight Train

[punksachoo]

Cool song and the images and feel of the music remind me of the movie "Festival Express", an excellent film from 1970 from Canada. You might have seen it but if you haven't you should!

[jeffkahl]

@punksachoo thanks! yes I've definitely seen Festival Express. probably one of my favorite live DVDs!

[RedKruzer]

well done - good photos too

[jeffkahl]

thanks! glad you enjoyed it!

[Sunambra]

Great song well done 5*****s

[jeffkahl]

thanks very much!

[basmeissie]

I like this one a lot! One of my favs.

[jeffkahl]

awesome! thanks very much!

[misspopanoche]

Pleased to see you've another Freight Train inspired video response... we told ya it would be a hit ! lol

~Sonya

[jeffkahl]

yeah he did a really neat job on the key changes!

[enricator]

I stumbled across misspopanoche cover of the song, so I just HAD to come and listen to the original...

It's a great song, that deserves a place in the Billboard Hot 100!!! Great job

[jeffkahl]

hey thanks very much! I'm very flattered!

[obdami]

Dude, this is a killer tune that you have written. It has "hit" written all over it. Have you shopped it around yet?

[jeffkahl]

thanks. other than just performing it live no I haven't. I don't really have too many industry contacts so I'm not sure what channels to pursue. either way thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[obdami]

I don't have any idea how one would go about that either, but it can't be that hard to figure out. Seriously dude, you should put some effort into marketing this tune. I can easily see this being "tweaked" for a mainstream country tune and even envision someone like Brad Paisley covering it.

[senn416]

Just a great song. Very well done!

[Oswlek]

Great song. The percussion in particular really seems to play up the train theme. I also love when that bass walks its way in.

Terrific solo! Nice and active.

The held "traaaaaaaaaaiiiinnnnnnnn...." in the background of the verses is a perfect touch. Excellent lyrics.

[jeffkahl]

thanks man! I guess it's experience recording in various contexts that allows me to hear stuff like that. glad you enjoyed it and thanks for subscribing!

[2xVitamR]

Came over misspopanoches channel to your song, and I must say, it is a great song. It is really good

Have a nice week

Michael

[jeffkahl]

awesome! thanks very much! they did such a great version themselves!

[wesalittle]

MAN!! 2 minutes is just a tease! What a great jam! Picked you up over at Suze's place. Faved and subbed,

Lee

[jeffkahl]

LOL! I'm of the mind of short and sweet :D Thanks for stopping by!

[suuzzee5]

Absolutely wonderful song, Jeff!! I was directed here from misspopanoche's great cover of your song. Just had to hear the original! Faved and vlogged and subbed. You're an astounding songwriter and musician! Suze

[jeffkahl]

thanks Suze! they did a fantastic cover of this song!

[g6120s]

Had to come back for another listen after hearing misspopanoche's cover!! Sounds awesome as ever. Always loved this one of yours!

[jeffkahl]

they did a FANTASTIC cover of this! I'm honoured!

[misspopanoche]

Never get tired of listening to this one.

[jeffkahl]

haha awesome! thanks!

[j45007]

[eciovdriht]

Great song with nice rhythm and good lyrics.

[jeffkahl]

thank you very much!

[YetWeWillMakeHimRun]

Sonya sent me to hear this - no wonder she loves it! The BNSF runs about 1/4 mile from my house, and I always get an exta whistle if I wave at the conductors. This is a great song! Thanks for posting! (From a Wabash Cannonball, Rock Island Line, City of New Orleans fan.)

[jeffkahl]

awesome! those are all great songs unto themselves! i've always had a fascination with trains (I've used the image a couple times in some of my other songs [one called If I Could Be The One is also posted on here]) and I guess the theme just parlays itself well into lyrics. glad you stopped by and that Sonya turned you onto it!

[rhopen]

Really great. Liked it a lot. -Ron

[jeffkahl]

Thanks Ron! Glad you enjoyed it!

[JonB1972]

Hi Jeff,

Came back for my 100th listen - Simply love this song! It's a travesty this has had such few views..I'm sending it to all I know

(all 3 of them lol)

Plus - I downloaded it for my Ipod..had creditcard ready to pay for it too!!!

~Sonya

[All1Song]

Hey Sonya thanks for sharing Jeff's incredible song. When he first posted I shared it and I have since shared it again but for some reason there aren' that many views and comments. This is excellent work and it baffles me.

[jeffkahl]

thanks both of you! mind you there are lots of other great songs on here as well so it's kinda tough to break through but every little bit helps!

[jeffkahl]

your help is greatly appreciated and the comments from such a fantastic musician as yourself are even more appreciated. It's tough though with so many great songs on Youtube to some how break through. All one can do is post and hope for the best! 100 listens eh? You really DO love this song! :D

[yogaduke]

Hi Boys

I Remember Chas Mac Devitt did a version back in the 60s.

Great production, produced with conviction Wow one for my playlist 62 videos. A2GVB / Gerry My Play lists. Please take a look. Lol Gerry :O)

[jeffkahl]

cheers Gerry! glad you liked the song! i'll have to search up this Chas bloke!

[BCBband]

Fantastic job Jeff. Love this song, superb writing job. What is it about Trains that make us want to use them for all kind of metaphors in life?

[bear6120]

Thanks so much for sending this to me :D I subbed and gave it 5*****...I can't believe he wrote this in 5 minutes...wow...he is amazing! Love you!

[jeffkahl]

thanks bear! glad you enjoyed it! it's funny how some songs just come to you quick and others take a long time to do. this one was just one those lucky ones I guess!

[jeffkahl]

thanks BC! figured I'd return the favour of all the great videos you guys have been sending me all this time! trains have always been something I've been fascinated with so it's one of those things I've wanted to use in my songs!
