When the Travis Larson Band first announced its arrival in 1998, it was clear to fans of instrumental guitar that this was the real deal. In a genre crowded with schoolboy shredders, TLB delivers the whole package. Virtuosity, great songs, world-class production...and soul. Now, three albums and a full-length performance DVD later, the Travis Larson Band is firmly rooted as one of instrumental music’s most important, critically acclaimed acts, having worked on record with Steve Lukather (Toto), Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck), Vinx (Sting, Herbie Hancock), Hugh Syme (Rush, Aerosmith), and having shared live billing with Ted Nugent, Jefferson Starship, The Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse (Deep Purple, Kansas), Bill Bruford (King Crimson, Earthworks), and Buddy Miles (Jimi Hendrix).
With Rate Of Change, the fourth studio release from the band, TLB has hit full stride. Even in light of the quality of the preceding award-winning records, this album stands above it all, and represents the band’s full potential. Creatively, technically, and sonically, Rate Of Change is the album that is causing instrumental guitar fans to once again demand great MUSIC from their heroes.
The sweat, intensity, and chemistry the band displays every night on stage are the real reasons TLB fans are so dedicated. Aided by endorsement relationships with Ernie Ball/MusicMan, Electro-Voice, Randall, Digitech, Ampeg, Gretsch, Gibraltar and Sabian Travis Larson Band’s commitment to giving it all up to the fans is the driving force behind everything.
People Get Ready
Travis Larson Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage you just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesel comin'
Don't need no ticket you just thank the Lord
People get ready
Picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is key
Open the doors and board them
There's hope for all among the love the most
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own soul
Have pity on those whose choices grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Kingdom's throne
People get ready
There's a train a comin'
You don't need no baggage you just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesel comin'
Don't need no ticket you just thank the Lord
There's a train there's a train there's a train comin' people
There's a train there's a train there's a train comin' people
There's a train there's a train there's a train comin' people
Just get on board
There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind just to save his own soul
Have pity on those whose choices grow thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Kingdom's throne
The lyrics to Travis Larson Band's song People Get Ready are a call to all people to prepare themselves for the second coming of Jesus Christ. The train that is coming represents the Lord's return and the urgency of the message is evident in the repetition of the phrase "there's a train a-comin'" throughout the song. The opening verse states that we don't need any baggage to board the train, only faith. This faith is what allows us to hear the sound of the diesel engine approaching and prompts us to thank the Lord for giving us the chance to be part of it.
