(English Translation)
There are several ways to introduce a newcomer to roots tradition: Last Train Home is the right example of a band out of any label and fashion, they show you exactly how you can play good country music without twisting the rules' genre but with a lot of personality....Forget about alternative-country and no depression sound, these eight fine musicians from Washington DC (they play everything from pedal-steel to trumpet) are definitely not "insurgent": Time and Water shows the outspoken face of the Americana movement, a delicious country-rock record full of pop hooks and melodies....Fine songs, a good voice (Eric Brace) and a brilliant sound like a major production: this is their secret...The turning point of this record is its intense range of style, even if sometimes it looks too glossy in the production....If you are looking for excellent songwriting and first-class melodies, Last Train Home could be your favorite country-rock band of the moment.
