Our Take

All aboard the musical express, as Spring String Quartet takes listeners on a whimsical journey through the land of locomotives with their latest album, "Train Songs."

From the moment the first string is plucked, it's clear that these musicians are chugging full steam ahead with their unique blend of classical elegance and folk charm. The opening track, "Choo Choo Blues," sets the tone for the album with its jaunty rhythms and soulful melodies that evoke the nostalgic sound of train whistles blowing in the night.

But don't be fooled by the title – this album is more than just a collection of train-themed tunes. Tracks like "Locomotion Emotion" and "Steam Engine Serenade" showcase the quartet's versatility, blending genres like jazz and bluegrass with their signature classical flourishes.

The musicianship on display here is truly top-notch, with each member of the quartet shining in their own right. Lead violinist Emily Whistlestop dazzles with her virtuosic solos, while cellist Barry Boxcar lays down a steady groove that propels the music forward with unstoppable momentum.

In the end, "Train Songs" is a joyride of an album that will have you tapping your feet and humming along to the rhythm of the rails. All aboard – this is one musical journey you won't want to miss. Go ahead, hop on the Spring String Quartet express – next stop, musical bliss. All aboard!
