Buffalo, the new album from The Midnight Ghost Train, began
like most records do: as ideas ricocheting among singerguitarist
Steve Moss, bassist David Kimmell and drummer
Brandon Burghart on Moss' 500-acre ranch in rural Kansas.
But the stage is where these soulful, riff-driven monsters
found their shape. "We never are sure about a song until we
do it live," Moss says. "I can't tell you how many songs we
have thrown out after playing them live once." To be sure,
Moss, Kimmell and Burghart have spent years honing their live
chops the way Marines do basic training.
Since 2007, the band
has criss-crossed the United States 13 times and Europe
twice, earning loyalty from fans through exuberant, jawdropping
shows that left only one question: how to capture
this on tape. Enter David Barbe, whose credits include R. E.M.,
Drive-By Truckers and Bob Mould. Moss' first phone call with
the producer-engineer sealed the deal. "He said, promise you I
will help you make this record sound just like your live show -
just as intense and just as real.'" This past March, the band
joined Barbe at Chase Park Transduction Studios in Athens,
Ga. Buffalo unfolds as a thrilling, 30-minute blues-based
behemoth. Burghart's tribal tom work kicks off the record's
one-two punch, "A Passing Moment of Madness" and "Henry."
"Foxhole," the first single, finds Moss calling up fat, nasty
grooves matched by Kimmell's stormy bass lines. "Tom's Trip"
flips the script slightly, revealing itself as a trance-induced
journey that recalls the best characteristics of - if you have to
say it - stoner rock.
But just when you think the Train has one
speed, in comes an a cappella rendition of Lead Belly's "Cotton
Fields," a taste of the band's affinity for gospel, stomp-clap
numbers that adds a spiritual dimension. The volume knob is
never far away, though, and Buffalo reignites with murder
ballad "Southern Belle" while "Into The Fray" gallops off on
Burghart's blood-and-guts drum parts underneath Moss and
Kimmell's satisfying interplay. "We wanted the sound of this
record to be tangible," Moss says. "We wanted you to be able
to close your eyes and feel and taste the sweat and blood that
we give off on stage." Consider the job done.
