A powerful and prolific storyteller through his songcraft, the Emmy-nominated, Oregon-born, and Southern California-bred singer-songwriter-guitarist Jake Smith, aka The White Buffalo will release his first-ever live album A Freight Train Through The Night, on September 20. Arriving on double-vinyl, in a limited, collector’s edition run, A Freight Train Through The Night the new live album from The White Buffalo is available for pre-order worldwide today USA, and the rest of the world.
Smith describes the new live album A Freight Train Through The Night “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.” He adds, “We also did a completely reworked adaptation of the song ‘House of the Rising Sun.’ I wanted to establish a definitive version that was all our own, and representative of our sound giving a fresh alternative to the original “Sons of Anarchy” show version. This album has all the emotion and passion of the live experience, it’s visceral, in a way that can’t be attained in the studio. What we do live is wildly different than studio albums. Pure and raw, no backing tracks, no auto tune, not perfect. It’s the three of us giving it our all us in our purest form.”
A Freight Train Through The Night was recorded live on March 1, and 2 at the Belly-Up in San Diego and finds The White Buffalo reteam with his band including Christopher Hoffee (bass/keys/guitars), and Matt Lynott (drums). The group brought in Mike Butler (The Rolling Stones, Reba McEntire, Phoebe Bridgers) to record and mix the live album. Smith says, “You can feel the energy of the audience, that circular push and pull, between crowd and stage. It’s unique every night, every show. It’s that love and flow that feeds all of us. We are in it together and you can really feel it in these recordings. We have a long history with the Belly-Up and brought in Mike Butler to capture the audio and mix, so this album sounds like you are in the room.”
Named after a line from the song “How the West Was Won,” the new live album A Freight Train Through The Night encapsulates nomadic life and the nights of a traveling musician, as well as the group’s own gloves-off approach to their live performances.
