Album Notes

This CD is a collection of traditional and original songs that tell the stories of the people, places, and events of the days when the railroad was king! Acoustic adventures into the history of train travel and the hard working people that made it run. Even the cover, an original painting by band member Patrick Karnahan, draws you into the picturesque landscape of travel by rail. You can feel the power of the steam driven locomotive in your feet as you sit comfortably gazing out at the open countyside. Put on this CD and turn on your own locomotive, be it a model or just your imagination, and let the songs take you on a journey on the rails where all you hear is the lonesome whistle blowin'.

I first saw this reviewed in a US magazine two or three years ago, but had problems at the time in getting a copy to the UK. It's been well worth the wait.
