Some Train Yard
by Thom Jackson
Some Train Yard is kickin’ it old school- their eleven song self-titled debut album is as traditional as bluegrass gets here on the front range. As they put it, their band seeks to pay tribute to pre-amplified American music and they do a solid job. The second track “If I Killed Her” has a heavy Johnny Cash-esque influence, with elements of country and a strong storyline. “Kicking Back On The Meramec” on the other hand is more traditional, using harmonica as the dominant lead instrument. The album is, on the whole, perfect summertime mountain music for fishing, camping, or grilling. They even throw in a cover of Jimmy Reed’s “Bright Lights, Big City” for good measure.
