5.0 out of 5 stars An alternative Elvis, July 5, 2005

This review is from: Train I'm on (Audio CD)

Tony Joe White sings (and looks) like Elvis's younger surly brother on this album. I was expecting it to be good, but I was surprised at how great it is. If you like the swamp affectations of Creedence and Little Feat, then you'll love the real thing. I was a little wary of a song with a title like "Even Trolls Love Rock 'n' Roll," but it's a hilarious story with really great playing. Highly recommended.

This is one of Tony Joe's better albums. From the slow soulful title cut to the rocker Even Trolls Love Rock & Roll (one of TJWs best IMO). My personal favorite is The Gospel Singer. His big hits from this one are I've Got a Thing About You Baby and If I Ever Saw a Good Thing. If you are going to buy some TJW music, my recommendations are this album and One Hot July which I consider to be his alltime best.

5.0 out of 5 stars TJW's best album, September 17, 2006

The Train I'm On is that truly rare animal; a PERFECT album. I think if you put 100 TJW fans in a room and had each one pick their favorite song from this album each of the twelve songs would be mentioned at least once.

There's a great deal of stylistic variety at work in the songs, but the quality is always there. There are more acoustic guitars than electric and there's not a note out of place in any of the playing or the deft arrangements.

The Train I'm On is a stone classic. I cannot recommend this album highly enough.
