We all fly, but since they took away our meals there's no romance left, it's just a way to get there. Rounder Records' collection of train songs reminds you why trains, especially steam locomotives, loom so large in our minds. . . . The 28 tunes are full of rhythms . . . The notes that accompany the music are themselves worth the price of the CDs. KXCI disc jockey Michael Hyatt has been collecting railroad music for years, and in this two-CD set he offers some of his favorites.
Every cut is a standout.
