Whisky Train : Dave Steffen Band

Whisky Train [Trower / Reid] Dave Steffen Band [USA]
Dave Steffen – guitar Davey Pattison – voice	Bill Lordan – drums and percussion Steve Olschesky – bass
DS: Bill Lordan, the drummer on several Robin Trower albums, was my drummer through most of the early 90s. He liked the drum beat on Whisky Train, and I liked the song, so we started playing it live in the San Francisco Bay Area clubs. The audiences loved the way we rocked out on the song – loud and powerful for the end of the show. It went over well. We recorded the song on our first CD. I had the opportunity to play the recording for Robin at a local Bay Area club before it was released on the CD. Davey Pattison, singer for Trower, at the time was doing an acoustic duo with me at a local venue. Robin was sitting at the bar and I slipped the recording in the cassette player without Robin knowing we had recorded his song. Robin looked around kind of puzzled. I went over and asked his permission to use the recording on my CD. He smiled and approved saying, 'Sounds pretty good'.		Dave Steffen's picture by Francis McIntyre, Texas
