HMV Review

Tony Joe White's second Warner Bros. album is an awesome, exquisite musical jewel and a departure from most of the attributes for which he is best known, from songs like Polk Salad Annie. Acoustic textured for much of its length and built on a close, intimate sound overall, The Train I'm On is permeated with the dark side of White's usual swamp rock sound, filled with songs about unsettled loves and lives, and men caught amid insoluble situations. Betraying surprising vulnerability for much of its length, even on songs like If I Ever Saw a Good Thing and 300 Pounds of Hongry (among the few full band numbers here, with a gorgeous sax solo by Charles Chalmers on the former), he shows off an emotional complexity that wasn't always obvious on his earlier work, only really cutting loose boldly on Even Trolls Love Rock and Roll and a tiny handful of other cuts. The rest is dark, pensive, soulful bluesy rock, highlighted by some bristling acoustic guitar work (check out As the Crow Flies) and superb singing throughout (The Migrant is worth the price of admission by itself). [The album was reissued in 2002 by Sepia Tone with new annotation, in a beautifully remastered mid-price edition.] ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

    スワンプの、そしてホームメイドアイスクリームと並ぶ彼の代表作ですね。彼の粘っこい独特のギターワークと朴訥とした語り掛ける様なヴォーカルスタイルは、納豆のようで味を覚えると堪りません。エディヒントン+ドニィフリッツ作の300パウンズオブホングリは、スワンプの名曲の一つですね。勿論、マッスルショールズ録音、そしてプロデュースは、トムダウトです。南部系、スワンプ好きには、完璧でしょう!
