"FREIGHT TRAIN" • TRAPPER SCHOEPP • STUDIO MUSIC VIDEO

STREAM/PREORDER: https://trapperschoepp.lnk.to/primeti... Originally written and performed in 1988 by San Francisco alt-rockers Sister Double Happiness, “Freight Train” powerfully chronicles the grim realities faced by those suffering with AIDS/HIV. Led by Wilco’s Patrick Sansone on piano, Schoepp and band become another link in this song’s chain. “It was passed along like a folk song while I was out on tour with the Jayhawks,” Schoepp says. “Guitarist Kraig Johnson showed me the two chords backstage and I took to it instantly.” “There’s an urgency in the lyrics that speaks to the pain of the epidemic,” Schoepp said. “It’s a powerful perspective to sing from, someone in the throes of the illness.” www.trapperschoepp.com Video by Stephen Bloch Produced by Patrick Sansone Recorded by Daniel Holter at Wire & Vice in Milwaukee, WI
