Classic Americana energy and the long missed live sound drive things with a certain air of brightness for this latest single from Them Damned Ol´Hillbillies. Throw in a brilliantly accessible vocal lead, and we’re getting closer and closer to that festival sound and experience of yesteryear. Simple yet compelling song-writing sees easy melodies and short, repeated phrases tell a detailed, scene-setting story, with each segment resolving sweetly for an Americana-style hook. Freight Train Hobo is a song that can be enjoyed by a wide range of fans.
