Only part I can ever recall lyrically is something about a "midnight train to Memphis" (I think) at the end, but its not even close to the Kid Rock song I found with that title.

It starts out with harmonica, then progresses into heavy guitar and raspy harmonica before the words start.

I feel like Al Bundy whenever I look for it.  "Hmm Hmm Him..."
Maybe from the Outlaws?

hi all, i heard a song on the radio yesterday and I thoguht it would be called "Diary of days" because it said that a bunch of times. The only lyrics I remember are "in the diary of days". It's a pretty rocky/upbeat song, does anyone know it/point me to a website that I can find it? I've been trying to look for websites where I can type in fragments of lyrics.

go to youtube, and type in those words. it should come up

I feel your pain bro, I'm trying to track down one I only ever hear on 96.9 WOUR at night. Have no idea its title or artist, but its got some killer harmonica and guitar work in it. Sounds like one of the old-school rock groups, but then again it doesn't. I have no idea, every one I've found by title or artist that I thought might be it isn't even close.


Its called " Train,Train".

I'm leavin here, I'm just a raggedy hobo!!

Great party song.

It was a song I played alot in several bands over the years.

Its by a southern rock band, Molly Hatchett or Blackfoot, can't remember which one.

Yup, Blackfoots "Train, train". I tried that title but got every song with "train" in it as a response. The artist narrowed it right down, got it on the first try.

Thanks. Its blasting through the PC speakers as we speak.  :aok

I had to put it on my iPod and blast it on the headphones, the neighbors were getting angry.

That song is the best example of why I want to learn to actually play the harmonica, not just fool around with it. That and just about anything by Blues Traveler.

It litteraly took me years to hunt down one song. Only line I could remember was "How did it come to this". I only heard it 2x. Once in restaurant and once on TV in passing. Then about a year ago I was bored with regular tv so I tuned to a rock station on TV and there it was playing right when I switched channels. Turned out it was "Is it like today", by World Party. Gave the song to my brother just last month. He said he couldn't listen to it enough.

Blackfoot is a great band!  "Highway Song" and "Train Train" are my two personal favorites by them

Yeah, great song (Highway Song), its their "Stairway to heaven" ,  "21st Century shcitzoid man"( King Crimson), or "Green grass and high tides forever" (Outlaws) etc.

I would classify it as "Epic".

I used to play alot of Southern rock years ago, I miss playing it.

Although we stiil play "Dreams" I think its an old Molly Hatchett tune.


Rock on!! :rock

The long version of "Hook" is my favorite John Popper solo.

Southern rock is the greatest  :aok  Although Lynyrd Skynyrd is overplayed, "Simple Man," "Free Bird," "Gimme Three Step," and "The Ballad of Curtis Lowe" are still GREAT tunes.  Molly Hatchett had some great tunes as well, like the alo overplayed "Flirtin' with Disaster."  AS much as it is played, you can still ask 90% of my HS classmates who Molly Hatchett is and they would simply reply "Huh?"
