Big Train and the Loco Motives bring you “Red Dirt Blues”. It’s that sound of traditional Mississippi Delta Blues, mixed together with the bounce of Texas Boogie Woogie, and a little edge from the electrified blues of Chicago. Then sprinkle with a little red dirt found in the sounds of Oklahoma natives Leon Russell, D.C Minner, Elvin Bishop, and Watermelon Slim, and you end up with us.
