It's great that Alan has new music coming out to radio at last.  It's been a while, funny that he and  George Strait both came back with new music around the same time   Downloaded "Long Way To Go" and George's new one "Here for a Good Time" which is also awsome! 

Just a shame no other singles came out from Freight Train.  Will be intresting to see how it does with the charts and radio play though as the stations seem to be into mostly pop music anymore.

First post here...tried the search function but didn't seem to find an answer...so sorry if this is repeated discussion.

I realize Alan's record contract recently ended with the label he was on...and I guess that's why only 2 singles came out from Freight Train?  Or would that have been the case anyway since the greatest hits package came out at the end of the year?

I just thought more singles should have come from the album....I've been a big fan of Alan's music since I got into country music about ten years ago...and thought Freight Train was top-notch.  My favorite song from the album and very favorite ever from Alan was Tailights Blue (which I know was even listed as one of the featured songs on the sticker on the package...usualy meaning it was a planned single).

I know his last few singles didn't fair all that great on the charts (really liked Ring of Fire too, never even heard it once on the radio here)...but like I've seen others mention in other threads, I think alot of it has to do with politics and the radio stations catering to the younger crowd who want to hear the newer artists and all the pop music they play now.

I've also tried requesting Tailights but never heard it.  I've heard that some songs can generate unsolicited airplay by requests...maybee someday even if these songs never become singles they'll make it into regular circulation if enough people ask.
