Details:
Last Train Home continues to grow in unexpected and musically profound ways with its fourth full-length CD, "Bound Away." It features the band's globally acclaimed alt-country sound, but also shows more varied influences at work. The record's emotional centerpiece, "Hendersonville" is lead singer and songwriter Eric Brace's stunning tribute to Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, one that avoids the potential pitfalls of tribute songs, and stands alone as a fully realized work. There's a deep sense of place in these songs. From the howling dogs of East Nashville in "Dogs on the East Side," to the farm and fields of "They Dance Real Close There," to the Arkansas train in "Marlene," to the Western landscapes of the closing instrumental "Bound Away," all the songs seem to carry a little bit of dirt. Passionate music from a band at the top of their game.

Last Train Home's "Bound Away" received a 4-star rave review from influential British music magazine MOJO and a lot of other critical acclaim. They've appeared on the CBS Late Late Show w/ Craig Ferguson, performed on "Mountain Stage," the syndicated public radio show with Guy Clark and Loudon Wainwright, opened for Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton, and toured internationally.

Give it a listen. You'll be glad you discovered these guys.
