JOHN TRAIN responds to Neil Young's challenge and returns with the MESOPOTAMIA BLUES In 2006, Neil Young released his Living with War CD. In several interviews, he stated that he had been waiting for a younger songwriter to stand up and write an anti-war record but, alas, none did. Jon Houlon, singer-songwriter for John Train, took that as a challenge. "I understood where Neil was coming from. But I also felt that his approach to the war was somewhat ill-considered. I decided to hit the books." And hit the books Houlon did. In addition to reading about the current conflict, he studied Iraqi folk tales, read a history of Britain's involvement in Iraq (which was previously called "Mesopotamia"), and, in general, "pulled the threads." Mesopotamia Blues, John Train's 4th CD and first for the Philadelphia-based Chapter 7 Records, represents the fruits of his labor. "I think it's crucial to see this war as part of a much larger continuum. It goes back at least as far as England's involvement in the early 20th Century." Houlon continues, "I also see this conflict as a continuation of what happened in the Vietnam Era and during Ronald Reagan's war against homeless people in the 1980s. It's all connected. One long war." Houlon felt it important to include other voices and opinions. In addition to setting a Rudyard Kipling poem to music, he draws on the catalogues of some of his favorite songwriters: Butch Hancock, Tom T. Hall, Terry Allen, and John Stewart. Houlon adds, "In a way, I didn't feel qualified to write about, say, Vietnam. So I pulled on some of my heroes. The particular songs I selected aren't very well known but, in my book, they're as good as it gets. I wanted to see if I could write some tunes that could compete along side of them. I hope I succeeded!" None of this would matter if Mesopotamia Blues failed to deliver the sonic wallop necessary to support Houlon's lofty concept. Fortunately, the band hooked up with renowned Philadelphia engineer Brian McTear and recorded the CD in his Fishtown studio, Miner Street/Cycle Sound. Houlon comments, "While I'm very fond of our first three records (Angels Turned Thieves, Looks Like Up, and The Sugar Ditch all on the Record Cellar label), I think we've upped the ante with this one. It sounds bigger, more aggressive." As he has on their previous releases, John Train dobro whiz, Mike "Slo-Mo" Brenner, takes the production seat. From the opening salvo of "Alfredo Garcia" to Butch Hancock's epic "Already Gone" to the concluding elegy of the title track, Mesopotamia Blues is a work of great insight and musical power. John Train (now in it's 12 year!) has achieved legendary status based both on their recorded work and the hundreds of shows they've played, drawing on their vast repertoire of folk and country covers as well as Houlon's critically acclaimed originals. But longtime fans and new listeners alike will be shocked and awed by the new direction of the Mesopotamia Blues. Perhaps Neil Young will be as well!

Effective

This worked wonders on my car’s performance! After one use, the engine started idling much smoother and the throttle feels more responsive. A very high-quality German-made product.

Great for All Cars but Especially German Cars
Size: 300 Milliliter
I use this in our used VW we bought and it helps keep the carbon build up down with their direct injection feature. I pair it with their oil additive which helps lubricate the rings so they don't stick as much.

Significant Improvement in Performance with Liqui Moly Jectron
Size: 300 Milliliter
I've been using the Liqui Moly 2007 Jectron Gasoline Fuel Injection Cleaner in my vehicle, and I am thoroughly impressed with the results. The 300 ml bottle, though compact, has made a noticeable difference in the performance of my car.
After adding the Jectron cleaner to my gasoline tank, I noticed an improvement in the engine's responsiveness and smoothness within just a few drives. The idling has become steadier, and the acceleration feels more robust and refined. It's as if my car has regained a level of vitality that I hadn't realized was missing.
The cleaner is incredibly easy to use – simply pouring it into the fuel tank before filling up ensures it mixes well and distributes evenly throughout the fuel system. I appreciate that this product is designed to be compatible with all gasoline engines, making it a versatile choice for different types of vehicles.
One of the most significant benefits I've observed is the reduction in start-up problems and engine hesitation. It's clear that the Jectron cleaner effectively cleans the fuel injectors, improving fuel atomization and combustion efficiency. This has not only enhanced the driving experience but also contributed to better fuel economy, which is a fantastic bonus given current fuel prices.
The blue color of the liquid and the design of the bottle make it easy to identify and use, ensuring I don't mix it up with other products. Despite being a single 10.14 Fl Oz pack, this cleaner packs a punch, proving that a little goes a long way.
In conclusion, the Liqui Moly 2007 Jectron Gasoline Fuel Injection Cleaner has exceeded my expectations. It has revitalized my car's engine, improved fuel efficiency, and provided a smoother, more enjoyable driving experience. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to enhance their vehicle's performance and maintain the health of their fuel injection system.
