Who wrote Train Train song by Blackfoot is it a collaboration of the whole band or the work of one person....maybe Rickey Medlocke who is now in Lynyrd Skynyrd?
Train, Train was written by Shorty Medlocke, Rickey Medlocke's grandfather. Interesting to note also is that Shorty would not let them record it unless he participated, and he would be the harmonica player that we all hear....and I love that song. Also, my being a huge LS fan....Rickey has filled in very nicely and it's like those lead guitars haven't missed a beat.
