Train

All aboard!

If you were on the fence about the four-day festival in the Catskills with headliners Beck and Wilco, now there's a new (and classic) reason to head for the hills.

Train's collaboration with Pistol Annie Ashley Monroe feels random, but the marriage of two very different vocal styles makes 'Bruises' a captivating listen.

Martina McBride is following up her biggest hit in over five years with another big hit … for someone else, a year ago. Train‘s ‘Marry Me’ gathered significant airplay on adult contemporary stations in 2010 and 2011 and sold over a million singles. The ‘I’m Gonna Love You Through It’ singer adds nothing new to the arrangement.
