Freight Train Rabbit Killer

Long before the automobile was widely used as a means of transport, the railroad was the symbol of freedom, independence and adventure in America. "Go west, young man" was the typical saying for anyone who wanted to try their luck as a prospector, farmer or rancher. In 1869 it was possible for the first time to cross the American continent from east to west by rail. In addition, a suitable music began to develop, which consisted of folk, blues, rockabilly and skiffle songs. These songs glorified and celebrated on the subject of the lyrics only one thing, namely the railway. It was time to dedicate a double CD to these songs.

Freight Train Heart became a huge hit for Jimmy Barnes, and with good reason. It followed on directly from the blue-collar rock of Bodyswerve and For the Working Class Man, yet managed to create its own identity. While it may have lacked complete originality ("Driving Wheels" is a simple update of "Working Class Man"), Barnes managed to make this set of songs an instant classic, thanks to the strength of singles like "Waitin' for the Heartache."

Freight Train is a young and rising AOR/Melodic Hard Rock band from Italy, formed in 2015. In the same year the band released the first videoclip: a cover version of the song “Any Way You Want It” (Journey), getting them noticed by AoR’s fans on Youtube and giving an unexpected exposure. After some years touring the north and center of Italy, at the beginning of 2017 the band starts to record the debut album. It will be released worldwide in July 2017 via Rockshots Records. The album is called ”I” and offers a classic AOR sound revisited in a fresh and modern way, thanks to the massive use of choirs, celestial keyboards, stunning guitars and bass works, solid drums and multi-versatile vocals.

“This album spans my entire career, over 20-plus years of writing and performing songs. With more than a hundred songs to choose from, some of these tracks I wrote in my 20’s, and others were born just years ago. We selected crowd favorites and some deep cuts to give them a new life.”
