Reg Meuross Songs About A Train – London album launch
March 1, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
Green Note is the perfect venue for an intimate London launch of the new album from Reg Meuross, Songs About A Train. Folk Radio says “This release confirms that Reg is, unequivocally, quite simply one of the finest singer-songwriters of our, or any other, times.”
“Some songs don’t stay still long enough and scamper off, some are dazzled by the dragonfly’s gleam. Some songs are right books put on the wrong shelves.” Stephen Jordan, Head of the Bodleian Music Library (1957-2015)
Songs About A Train is award winning Somerset singer-songwriter Reg Meuross’ second sweep down the back of the sofa (the first being The Dreamed and The Drowned) to retrieve songs that had been recorded but escaped inclusion in his studio albums, not for lack of quality but more a question of space, or suitability to the collection. So here we have 11 more brilliant songs that were unrequited at the time of production between 2013 and 2017, collected and presented in a new album.
“A lot of artists strive in vain to make an album of this quality, yet with these eleven previously rejected tracks Reg has once again produced something truly special.” Fatea Magazine.
Songs About A Train is less political than Faraway People, but still profound in its messages which will touch people on a really human level.
