This is a TRAD song : "This Train"

[Geir]

When I first got my BR I hadn't written any new songs in a looooooooong time, but I wanted to test out the features, so I started out with this one. Made a few rough takes first and decided to make a more serious effort. It ended up being the most "complete" production I've done to date (don't seem to find time to put so much work in it nowadays). I have 4 acoustic guitars (2 very low in the mix) 2 electric rhythm gtr's bass lead guitar and vocals ..... Now the vox I would like to redo 'cause it was one of my first attempts at singing in many years, but .... well .... I've got enough projects for the time being!!!

I don't know why I suddenly remembered this song, I think the only version I've heard was by "The Alarm" some time in the 80's, but I can't remember how the arranged it. This arrangement just "happened" after fooling around with various drumpatterns and ending up with this country-pattern.

Everything is done on the BR except sound-effects added on the computer after the final mastering on the BR.

.... And yes ... there may be a resemblance to a certain other song I've posted here

Now that is just superfine.  What a smokey vocal going on there, sounds like Mark Knopfler sorta.  Great layered guitars, really great reverby solo.  Nice one.

This one got me smiling and stomping my feet! my wife is complaining at me making more noise than usual, but hell! I love it!

Superb production. Thanks Geir. It does sound very Johnny Cash.

Very JC, very Geir, very cool. Just don't get a mullet like The Alarm.

Cheers,
