California 37

It sure has been a while. Good grief, I need to get up to speed.
Okay, here goes.
As a Christmas present my best friend gave me an album. This album just so happened to be California 37.
Now, if you are previously unaware of the band we have to thank for creating this masterpiece, it is Train.
If you still have no idea about this band, I'll give you a few hints. This is the band that sang the songs 'Save me, Sanfransisco', 'Hey, Soul Sister' and, off of their new album, '50 ways to say goodbye'.
If you're still clueless then I suggest you hurry up and listen to their album.

The newest album to be guided to our ears features songs such as the aforementioned '50 ways to say goodbye' and 'Drive by'. It's a mix of good vocals, varied instruments, and both a slow and fast paced rhythm. I spent a full two hours trying to figure out just what it sounded like, and I was tempted to say that it sounded very Country, but that wasn't right at all.
Actually, in all honesty, I might be a tad biased because I absoloutly LOVE the vocals. I could listen to Patrick Monohan's voice for God knows how many hours.
Now, I always hate picking favourite's when it comes to songs, but I have managed to narrow it down to four for this album.
The first and foremost would have to be 'California 37'.
The next would be 'Mermaid'.
Coming in third is 'Drive by'.
And, lucky last, we have '50 ways to say goodbye'.

I very much enjoyed listening to it, and will continue to do so until I can no longer listen to it -which I don't think will happen.
 

 
Here is the cover art for the album. Lovin' the car, seriously.
 


So, I guess that's really all I can say about that, then. Now, I'll have you know, Train does have Twitter, so there's that. I'd love to be more helpful in helping you find out about this fabulous band but I'd hate to think that I was helping you be lazy. Go find stuff out yourselves.
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope this is an aedquate enough post to keep you interested.
Until next time.
-Em xx
