Twelve songs that moved faster than the speed of light.
That is how I describe the new Train release Bulletproof Picasso.
My dear wife, Carrie, and I just listened to the new Train cd and were left to just look at each other in bewilderment…slash…sadness when the twelfth of twelve songs was over before we felt like we were getting somewhere.
Was it good music? It sure was to us. Otherwise we’d still be listening to it wondering when will it be over?
The official US release of this new collection was today. When we got home today Amazon had come through. They usually do.
Train has become my second favorite group….a VERY distant second to The Moody Blues. What Train might have to offer that The Moodies will never offer up again is new music. As much as I can listen to the music I love over and over and over again, the chance to hear some new tunes and have them appeal to my discerning ear makes me a winner. When it comes to music…I am not very easily impressed.
Twelve songs. Twelve songs that went much too fast the first time. Like all Trains…this stuff will slow down eventually. But it will still be a beautiful vehicle to behold.
Listening…and speaking the rights.

i need some clerification Mr. Dan, are you saying Train is your distant second band NOW, or overall?
My listening ear TODAY…the past two years…jumped on the Train. They are my 2nd favorite. The Beatles…yes…they are ubiquitous. That…and Train is my 2nd favorite that I have a chance to actually see live. Thanks for asking.
