Since forming 15 years ago in San Francisco, Train’s Pat Monahan, guitarist Jimmy Stafford, and drummer Scott Underwood have traveled a long, successful and sometimes arduous journey. Over the course of their illustrious career, Train has made its mark on music history with their Grammy-Award-winning song “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)” and chart-topping singles “Hey, Soul Sister”, “Marry Me”, “Meet Virginia” and “Calling All Angels.” Now, with their fifth album, Save Me, San Francisco, Train has channeled their early days, revisiting the roots rock sound that has made the band such a tour de force.
When looking back, Train credits the city of San Francisco with cultivating the band’s identity and foundation, so it’s no wonder than the title track of the record would pay homage to the Bay Area metropolis. “Save Me, San Francisco” is an autobiographical account of Train’s beginnings, and embodies the soul of Train as a band. Save Me, San Francisco taps into Train’s organic sound, recalling the blues and folk-infused rock that put the band on the map from the start.
Most recently, Train spent April and May of 2009 holed up in London’s Kensaltown Studios with producer Martin Terefe (KT Tunstall, Jason Mraz, James Morrison) with whom Monahan credits with helping the band get back to the roots of the first record. It is befitting that the focus of Save Me San Francisco is as uncomplicated as the record sounds.
In this day and age, career artists are few and far between, and after a decade and a half of being a band, Train is ready to present one of their strongest efforts to date. However, for a band as consummate as Train is, the band still sets its goals high and hopes the band’s fans will continue to come along for the ride.
Save Me San Francisco available in music stores nationwide, only from Ivory Music & Video, the exclusive licensee of Sony Music, in the Philippines.
