Beautiful music as performed by these talented musicians. Great music to listen to while in traffic - mindful, calming.
| | Unique project - recorded in various train stations in transit. | 29/01/2020
Being a fan of both artists, and hearing them both revisit their roots in such a unique way was a no brainer for me. I'm not a fan of tribute albums, as they're usually a letdown, but this one works for me straight through - start to finish.
| | Uuuuhuuuuuh blows the whistle | 15/11/2019
2 Helden der Musikgeschichtenforschung setzen sich in den inzwischen komfortablen Eisenbahnwaggon, stimmen ihre Gitarren, ölen ihre Stimmen, erinnern sich an das eine oder andere Lied, das musikalische Vorfahren auf den langen Wegen und während der noch längeren Wartezeiten geschrieben haben und machen sich keine Gedanken über die die Sessions begleitenden Fahr-, Stampf- und Rattergeräusche. Es gibt sogar einige Lieder, die Zeitgenossen schon mal gehört haben. Große Erinnerung an längst

Played this last night. Totally superb.
| | Great railway themed album. Go ahead and buy it | 04/10/2019
Fantastic album. Two talented artists recording tracks live in atmospheric locations. Great stuff. I was lucky enough to see the supporting tour. It was on the night following Trump's election, which made it all the more fascinating.

This CD was a present for my dad He said its a great cd. I really like the cd too. A great buy
| | Historias de trenes. | 03/06/2018
Disco que recorre canciones relacionadas con los trenes en los EUA. Historias de y en trenes que relatan la importancia del medio de transporte en ese vasto país, historias de su construcción. Grabado a lo largo de 4 días en trayecto desde Chicago a Los Ángeles. Realizado a cuatro manos por Billy Bragg y Joe Henry al que desconocía, dos guitarras y dos voces. El disco se deja escuchar sin ser un gran disco tampoco es para no tener en cuenta.
| | Bragg's successful turn toward folk style! | 03/02/2018
In the thirty years I've been a Billy Bragg fan my tastes have drifted more toward folk and country blues styles so I seldom listen to his classics any more. But its hard to convince younger fans who dislike his older style that this one is totally different. The vocals are "sweeter", less angry and more tame than his rock songs, with great old time folk style harmony, reminiscent at times of Seeger & Guthrie, Simon & Garfunkle, the Weavers, other classic groups. Guitars
| | un merveilleux voyage dans l'Amérique profonde et mythologique du chemin de fer | 21/11/2017
Billy Bragg et Joe Henry s'associent pour rendre hommage à l'Amérique du chemin de fer. Enregistré entre Chicago et Los Angeles, dans des halls de gare ou dans des chambres d'hôtel, ce disque est une aventure rythmée par 13 chansons du répertoire de la fin du 19 ème et du 20 ème siècle. 2 voix, 2 guitares pour des chansons folk, dépouillées, qui racontent des histoires de hobos et de trains, chantées merveilleusement par un anglais et un américain. Ainsi, le "Hobo's
| | A field recording success | 27/10/2017
This is an interesting CD, I have many recording by these 2, but this is different. I like the background sounds of the various stations and the selection of tunes they cover.
| | 1+1=>2 | 04/10/2017
sometimes two voices make something greater than the sum of their original parts, that is the case here. Joe Henry's singing with Bragg's spoken backing is spot on, a real pleasure.

Bit of a strange concept but it works. You can just imagine singing along with them to good old standard tunes on the train
| | Three Stars | 30/03/2017
Good folk album. Gimmicky and sound qualities vary
| | Train's a coming....Get on board. | 15/03/2017
The music is old and terrifically simple. The artists preform it in a very basic traditional way. If your looking for over synthesized, over sung high notes, auto-tune or drum machines this is not for you. However, if your looking for authentic American music written in the times of struggle and performed by artists who take great care to present it in a way that preserves the past, it's right here. I enjoy the pace and the simplicity of this album, it's refreshing in an era of noise.
| | Light Shone | 26/01/2017
Not exactly what I expected, but maybe even better -- not all the songs were familiar to me so I learned from them and several were performed differently than ever I had heard them (probably more authentically) so that was a treat. It is more of a curiosity piece, however, than something I will play many times.
| | Billy at his best | 24/01/2017
Just a superb album. Great songs, performed with Billy's usual flair. Superb and highly recommended
| | i've no idea who or what this is but he's happy with it | 15/01/2017

My first knowing listen to Billy Bragg. Novel idea recording at each train station. Well put together and delivered.Going to see them live in Jan 2017.
| | For Railroad lovers | 27/11/2016
Railroad songs for a railway buff he loves it
| | Billy Bragg goes Country | 17/11/2016
Der Erste Eindruck ist ein sehr Countrylastiger in die Jahre gekommener Billy Bragg, der mit seinem Freund Joe Henry auf der Gitarre "herumklampft", jodelt und Lieder über Züge, Landstreicher und Mädchen trällert. Dann nochmal hören und nochmal und nochmal und nochmal.... (Am Besten bei einer langen Autofahrt) Irgendwann trällert man das ein oder andere Liedchen mit, versteht den Inhalt und das Album wächst oder besser gesagt "bekommt Fahrt" ! Großartig Billy, erst
| | Five Stars | 11/11/2016
Great recording and wonderful playing. Many old-time favorites sung in an intimately moving new manner. Highly recommended.
| | The version of Gentle on my Mind is incredibly beautiful, and I discovered old favorites | 04/11/2016
The version of Gentle on my Mind is incredibly beautiful, and I discovered old favorites, such as Midnight Special and new (to me) songs like Railroading the Great Divide. The two voices work well together and this album was better than expected.
| | Na Ja, field recordings... | 01/11/2016
Ich habe eine grosse Sammlung von Aufnahmen mit Songs, die mit den amerikanischen Railroads zu tun haben, aber diese ist bei weitem die schlechteste aller Platten. Schlechte Aufnahmequalität, entschuldigt mit "field recording", aber auch schlecht interpretierte Songs. Da die CD von der renommiertesten Schweizer Zeitung empfohlen wurde, habe ich sie blindlings bestellt. War ein Fehler! Es gibt viele, weit bessere Aufnahmen der railroad songs, sogar aus den frühen Jahren des letzten
| | HERMOSO HOMENAJE AL MAS PURO FOLK....Y A LOS TRENES AMERICANOS. | 01/11/2016
La idea es una aventura sonora muy hermosa. Billy Bragg y Joe Henry han cogido un tren de Chicago al profundo Sur,han cogido sus guitarras, han grabado en los trenes, en hoteles cercanos a las estaciones y en los andenes de las estaciones. ¿Que han cantado? Viejas caciones folks que tienen que ver con su recorrido. Homenaje a la generacion de Wooy Guthrie y esa America profunda, Henry de nuevo ha conseguido recuperar ese sonido de la memoria sentimental de EEUU, sin estridencias, de la forma mas
| | Muy bueno | 27/10/2016
Música con apego a la tierra. Muy buena edición y música. No te lo pierdas porque no te va a defraudar
| | Five Stars | 26/10/2016
great cd! youtube videos show recording sessions in classic train depots too
| | Superb Railroad Americana | 25/10/2016
Superb collaboration. Simple, evocative atmospheric. Puts a new spin on the wheels of the great American railroad story. Two different but entirely complimentary voices take turns and come together to celebrate the great songs of rail, travel and travelling folk.
| | Absorbing, different and real | 12/10/2016
You can listen to this recording like you would watch a movie. It is very absorbing. I was already a huge Billy Bragg fan and not familiar with Joe Henry but I loved them together as well as the raw sounds from actual railroad stations and the song selections. Great concept and great execution. At the very moment I was writing this review, "Early Morning Rain" started playing on my local public radio station. It has never sounded better to me. I actually purchased this as a gift for
| | My olde mate Bragg pulls it off, once again. | 28/09/2016
It's Sir William of Bragg, the living genius, thus this is superb. Enough said, the man is a legend. His new mate Joe is a cool man as well. All good, Mr. Bragg, Sir. Keep the faith.

I've been a huge fan of Joe Henry for over a decade now and I've never been disappointed with a release. This one is just awesome. Its pure american music. Reminding us how things used to be. We need more music like this. Good work guys!
| | 'Shine A Light' - Billy Bragg u. Joe Henry Zug um Zug | 24/09/2016
Nachdem Joe Henry schon Billy Braggs ganz wunderbares Vorgänger-Album 'Tooth & Nail' produziert hat, haben sich die beiden für das Album 'Shine A Light' wieder zusammen getan - und dieses Mal auch als Musiker. Die Stücke, denen sie hier musikalisch nachspüren und ein Denkmal setzen, haben allesamt mit der US-Amerikanischen Eisenbahn zu tun. Und der Romantik, den Träumen, Hoffnungen und den (bisweilen harten) Realitäten, die mit der Schiene und den 'Stahlrössern'

Cos'è Trustami

Trustami cerca regolarmente in Internet nuove recensioni per raggrupparle in un unico posto e renderle immediatamente disponibili agli interessati.

Vogliamo rendere il più semplice possibile per ogni utente di Internet scoprire i prodotti. Invece di fare affidamento su un'unica fonte, offriamo un unico punto di contatto per ottenere tutte le recensioni su un prodotto con poco sforzo.

Trustami non raccoglie di per sé alcuna recensione e, in qualità di autorità indipendente, si adopera per rendere Internet più trasparente. Le piattaforme Internet e i siti Web più diffusi vengono ricercati automaticamente per trovare recensioni e identificare i prodotti. Il nostro obiettivo è offrire una raccolta utile di informazioni sui prodotti su cui tutti possano fare affidamento. L'unione delle informazioni sul prodotto viene eseguita nel miglior modo possibile e può includere diverse varianti di prodotto.

Trustami è nato come progetto dell'Università tecnica di Berlino (TUB) con l'obiettivo di rendere Internet più affidabile. Il lavoro di ricerca nell'area "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" presso la Cattedra di Information and Communication Management (IKM) ha fornito un primo prototipo che ha consentito la raccolta e la raccolta di informazioni sulla reputazione. Questo è stato poi ulteriormente sviluppato come parte di una borsa di studio sponsorizzata ed è ora uno spin-off indipendente.
