Trains: Love Like A Train

Giant Sand: Love Like A Train

[purchase]

Here’s a good one about how love can be like a train, among other things. I like the organ and funky guitar parts.

Giant Sand is a pretty interesting group to check out if you haven’t yet. This song comes from my favorite Giant Sand album, The Love Songs, released in 1988. It's a good place to start if you can find it, but right now it looks to be out of print.

Heaven Week: Outside An Angel's Reach (3 Sixes)

The Band Of Blacky Ranchette: Outside An Angel's Reach (3 Sixes)

[purchase]

This one might have been more appropriate for Hell Week (three sixes) than Heaven Week (angel), but it's a great song that most people haven't heard, and Hell Week has passed, so here it is.

The Band of Blacky Ranchette is one of Howie Gelb's Giant Sand side projects. I like the way this song incorporates the 6-pack, 6-shooter, and 6-string guitar.
