Good time blues with a dash of rockabilly, and a country tune tossed in for flavour.

Night Train came together through four different musical backgrounds, but all seeking the blues. The result was a pleasing mix of blues, rockabilly, and a dash of country thrown in for style and flavor. After some touring, they took a few months off to work on some original material. The result was "Blowin' Smoke", a
fine collection of tunes that have stood the test of time.

Night Train was born in a large workshop where they honed their sound into an ecclectic set of styles ranging from blues to rockabilly to funk and yes, even country. After taking their show on the road for a couple years where they worked out their first few original tunes they decided to take it to the studio. After months
of rehearsing what would eventually become their first CD, "Blowin' Smoke", they were ready to lay down tracks. The blues/rockabilly style is evident on "Boys Toys", "Legs for Days", and "Good Thing Goin'". "Time Ain't On My Side" shows the band's country side. There's a hint of good old time rock with a surf-style rhythm on "You Don't Listen", a song that was often requested at live shows.

"Blowin' Smoke", the title track, was inspired by the usual guy at the bar who knows a little bit of everything and is only really happy when he can share it all with everyone around whether they want to hear it or not!
