Eric Brace & Last Train Home - Everything Will Be

It's been 25 years since Last Train Home got started in 1996 in Washington DC, and through the pandemic they've kept the train rolling.

That's meant, for them, a new way of doing things: sending audio files back and forth, bouncing ideas off of satellites and through underground cables from all our homes and various remote locations. And thanks to producer/engineer/guitarist Jared Bartlett's uncanny ease at layering myriad soundwaves into a coherent whole, there now exists Last Train Home album number ten, 'Everything Will Be'.

The band once again defies any sonic expectations, pushing at all the alt-country boundaries that commentators might try to put on this wide-ranging collective. With everything from sambas and New Orleans brass bands, Bakersfield picking and reverse guitar tape loops, bodhr�ns and baritone saxes thrown into the mix, Last Train Home has rendered seven songs by band leader Eric Brace, and four perfectly chosen covers.
