NASHVILLE After building up a mighty head of steam on their recent radio
tour drawing rave reviews from both critics and country PDs Flynnville
Train will release their self-titled debut on Toby Keith's Show Dog
Nashville on Tuesday, September 11.
Flynnville Train has been busy tearing up the road, opening for Keith on his
"Big Dog Daddy Tour" and routinely raising the roof with country anthems
like "Nowhere Than Somewhere," "Tequila Sheila" and "Last Good Time."
Rolling toward the record's highly anticipated release, the rowdy boys from
Muncie, Indiana have been fine-tuning their unstoppable blend of heartland
country and revved-up twin-guitar rock and building a street-level fan base
(known as "Trainiacs") who are drawn to the band's rebel energy and
real-life country songs.
Co-produced by Kentucky Headhunter Richard Young, Flynnville Train is the
kind of without-a-net country record Nashville has been waiting for, and the
album is already earning rave reviews. Here's what critics are saying about
Flynnville Train's debut:
* ³Flynnville Train is a group to watch. Its debut CD arrives next month,
and if Thursday's show is any indication, the Train is on the right track.²
- The Plain Dealer (August 25, 2007)
* "Powered by the unique dual-guitar dynamic of Brent Flynn and Jeremy
Patterson, and countrified by Brian Flynn's turbo-twang vocals, Flynnville
Train comes roaring out of the gate like a tricked-out Harley on their debut
album." CMA Close Up (April/May2007)
* "Flynnville Train snarl a swampy blues with a menace reminiscent of an era
when Charlie Daniels still got stoned in the morning and drunk in the
afternoon and when Hank Williams, Jr. got whiskey bent and bragged that a
country boy can survive." Nashville Scene (July 19, 2007)
* "Flynnville Train, a band from Indiana, plays 'Truck Stop' country music
that makes cowboys (and girls) tap their boots and tip their hats." Hippo
(January 25-31, 2007)
* "The band as a whole, for lack of a better word, rocked. The sound was
tight, loud and full of energy." Star Press (April 3, 2007)
While critics hear the influence of everyone from Lynyrd Skynyrd to the
Headhunters to Hank, Sr., to the boys in the band it's just country music -
Flynnville Train music pure and simple, wild and free. And with the
September 11 release of Flynnville Train, it arrives right on schedule.
