He invited them up to his "new" studio in the old historic WROX broardcast studio to record. With the Old School Attack of Their Father's Fathers, Trainreck teased propadation of Ages current and classic with their songs. Their steady "Stomp Stride" commingles with multidimensional occupation of rhythm, washboard, snare & kick drums and gutbucket Texas/Mississippi Country Blues Guitar tones and Vocals of Lightnin Hopkins, RL Burnside, John Lee Hooker & Blind Willie Johnson, they built the foundation for this recording. Dump in a Quart of Soul, some fists full of attitude, a few tracks recorded out of Washboard's Garage, any ol'amplifer... and you have The Amazing Trainreck!!!! The amazing trainreck consists of KM Williams - Guitars,Vocals & Harmonica; Washboard Jackson - Traps,(washboard, snare, stomp cymbals, foot cannon).
