Dan
Zanes continues his series of family friendly music with his latest release
Catch That Train! a collection of eighteen songs that has already won a
2007 Grammy Award. Employing a slew of friends including regulars Father
Goose AKA Rankin’ Don, Barbara Brousel and Donald Saaf, Zanes also brings
guests Natalie Merchant, Nick Cave and The Kronos Quartet to the festivities.
Highlights here include the island vibe of the title cut “Catch That Train!”
the Cajun groove on “The Fine Friends Are Here” and Merchant’s duet with
Zanes on “Loch Lomond”. Zanes channels his old band The Del Fuegos with
spirited romps on “Walkin’ The Dog” and “Let’s Shake”. For more on Dan
