Same Train, a Different Time in Bloomington, MN

Same Train, Different Time
is
Merle Haggard's
affectionate tribute to
Jimmie Rodgers
.
Haggard
provides narration between the songs, offering tales of
Rodgers'
life and music. While the album is rooted in the past, the key to its success is how
updates these traditional songs without losing sight of their roots. There are contemporary folk, country and blues influences scattered throughout the record, adding depth to the music and proving that
music is indeed timeless. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
