“Where is the meaning? Where is the joy?” Asks Paul Gehl in his epic, close to eight-minute “Train To Nowhere”. The answer to those questions, of course, depends on who you are asking. To this writer at least, happiness has always been a fleeting feeling … a moment here … a moment there … something that’s reliant on luck, serendipity and randomly made life choices.
Be that as it may, “Train To Nowhere” is a tour de force. Simply put, it’s a brilliant, spell-binding track fused with damn good guitars and a fantastic Ozzy Osbourne-like, lethargic but yet emotional, vocal delivery, baring resemblance to early Sabbath when Ozzy still sang at a more relaxed, lower register and was arguably at his very best.
Another thing that I really like here is the track's live-in-the-studio feel. The production of "Train To Nowhere" serves as a great reminder of how authentic and great rock music sounds when it's not turned into sonic vanilla with computers.
It’s hard to imagine any fan of classic rock not loving this. It’s that good.
