Rock Band Train Catches the Train of Success for New Album California 37
The American rock group Train reached platinum success (again) with 2009’s ‘Save Me, San Francisco,” thanks largely to the lead single “Hey, Soul Sister.” The song was charming, melodic, and ALL Train. Now the group returns to the musical foray with their sixth soothing-included record, California 37. The album chronicles the thoughts that aroused from front man Pat Monahan in his travels across the popular interstate 37 that runs through California. And if the record isn’t about that, it absolutely has a very “drive”-esque energy, reminiscent of long drives with nothing and everything to think about.
The album continues Train’s melodic sounds capes and alternative pop strategies for a quintessential pop/rock album. Though it comes off very safe for the group, it is perfectly balanced and is exactly what fans of Train were hoping for if they felt that train had a sound and should stick to it.
Interestingly, the album carries many producers, David Hodges and Butch Walker namely, the latter helming many corporate rock records of the last decade. Some of his credits include Dashboard Confessional, Gavin Degraw, and Katy Perry.
The record is being released by major label Columbia, and features 13 wholesome tracks that Monahan recorded while on tour for their last record. ‘Drive By” is the lead single and breached the billboard top 10. ‘Feels Good at First” followed that a few months later and coincided closely with the actual album’s release.
Train’s biggest claim to fame is their massive global album “Drops of Jupiter” from 2004 that placed them on the map, and their self-titled album previously that held the popular single ‘Meet Virginia.”
Train is expected to do many legs all over the world, beginning Summer 2012 so stay close to the source for new information pertaining to Train.
