Well this is not a review of album or CD. No, it’s a review on a great new music/concert DVD that I picked up the other day. I don’t buy many DVDs, but this one is special. It features Tom Russell, Andrew Hardin, a small concert venue and a train. Yep, I said a train. Seems Tom, Andrew and other special guest artists have held a music workshop/concert on a cross-Canadian train trip for the past few years. This DVD was recorded on the 2004 trip. The workshops and mini-concerts are held right on the train for the lucky few managing a ticket, with the beautiful Canadian countryside passing by the windows. The train also stops in select locations, Vancouver and Toronto I believe, where full concerts are held with local folks and the “train people”, as Tom calls them, in attendance.
Great performances by Tom, Andrew, Hot Club of Cowtown, Kristi Rose and Fats Kaplin. There are also interviews with Tom, Andrew, Dave Alvin and Eliza Gilkyson.
Song list includes:
Angel of Lyon
Blue Wing
The Next Thing Smokin’
Gallo dell Cielo
Isaac Lewis
Navajo Rug
Tonight We Ride
Out in California
The Road it Gives, The Road it Takes Away
All the Fine Young Ladies
Hearts on the Line
Ash Wednesday
Where the Dream Begins
Stealing Electricity
It Goes Away
This one is worth the price of admission for Tom Russell and Andrew Hardin fans, and anyone else that appreciates good music and great story teling.
