The track begins with throttling acoustic and electric interplay, then hits hard as The Grimm’s lead swings in with gravel and grit. The chorus smacks:
“All aboard the big train, bound for a place that’s yours to gain…”
It’s an old-school, festival-sized singalong built for hauling lost souls down backroads.
In the saloon room video, sweat and sweat-stained strings dominate—drums hit tight, audience present, and The Grimm lean into the live moment. Picture’s clean, audio’s punchy—it’s not polished, it’s present.
Final Verdict:
“Big Train” rolls like a locomotive and lands like a freight wreck—in all the best ways. The Grimm aren’t aiming for smooth—they’re aiming for real. This one’s Texas-sized, road-tested rock with that outlaw spirit still burning bright.
