Train: Save Me, San Francisco
May 13th, 2011 by gcunniff
“Save Me, San Francisco is a focused record, centering around the theme of a wandering young rocker who falls in love and wants to settle down. “Hey Soul Sister,” a love song with the best anthemic Train chorus to date, is the album’s most memorable cut, name-checking Mr. Mister and employing a Madonna metaphor — crediting her in the process. Acoustic guitars, kick drums, tom-toms, mandolins, and a B-3 underscoring Monahan’s emotive lyrics and melody make it literally unforgettable.” –All Music Guide
