Night Train

A moment of peace, tinged with the bitterness of burnt diner coffee, and dry eyes rubbed through cigarette smoke curling under the glare of sodium vapor lights. You glance at the clock for the hundredth time. This moment has happened before, and it will happen again, all of it a compelling cover of “Night Train” from Montana’s own Monte Jenkins.

Jenkins is no stranger to long nights of quiet contemplation, and they weave that into a delicate and compelling cover. “Night Train”, a single off the second album from Amos Lee, demands to strip things back to basics, and Jenkins doesn’t disappoint. Jenkins guitar lilts through a soft-spoken re-telling of the Amos Lee classic, and the entirety folds-through like a delicate origami doll.

“Night Train” is the new approach.
