Our Take

All aboard the musical express with JOHNNY DOUGLAS & HIS ORCHESTRA's latest album, The Railway Children! This delightful collection of tracks is like taking a trip on a steam train through the rolling hills of the English countryside.

The opening track, "Platform Pandemonium," sets the scene perfectly with its jaunty rhythms and orchestral flourishes. You can practically smell the coal smoke and hear the whistle blowing as you chug along with Douglas and his merry band of musicians.

But it's not all sunshine and roses on this musical journey. Tracks like "Delayed Departure" and "Signal Failure" capture the frustration and chaos of modern rail travel, with discordant melodies and clashing instruments creating a sense of unease.

Of course, no journey is complete without a few surprises along the way. "Unexpected Stopover" is a whimsical interlude featuring a guest appearance from a vintage locomotive whistle, while "Final Destination" brings the album to a rousing, triumphant close.

Overall, The Railway Children is a charming and inventive homage to the golden age of train travel, with Douglas' expertly crafted arrangements and playful compositions making it a must-listen for music lovers and locomotive enthusiasts alike. All aboard!
