Limited edition of 1,000 individually numbered copies on yellow colored 180-gram audiophile vinyl. The Train I'm On was the fifth album by Tony Joe White. It was produced by Jerry Wexler and Tom Dowd and recorded in 1972 at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio.

Acoustic textured for much of it's length and built on a close, intimate sound overall, The Train I'm On is permeated with the dark side of White's usual swamp rock sound, filled with songs about unsettled loves and lives, and men caught amid insoluble situations. Dark, pensive, soulful bluesy rock, highlighted by some bristling acoustic guitar work. The Train I'm On spawned three singles, including "I've Got a Thing About You Baby," which was notably covered by Elvis Presley.
