Garland Shuping & The Dixie Bluegrass Boys - That Midnight Train

Review by Tish Thawer

Garland Shuping & The Dixie Bluegrass Boys have released their latest album titled That Midnight Train, which showcases their impressive musicianship and knack for storytelling.

The album features a collection of traditional bluegrass tunes as well as original songs written by Shuping himself. The instrumentation is top-notch, with Shuping's soulful vocals accompanied by banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and upright bass.

One standout track is "The Ballad of Sally Ann," a haunting tale of a young woman who falls in love with a man from the wrong side of the tracks. The Dixie Bluegrass Boys' tight harmonies and expert instrumentation perfectly capture the emotional depth of the song.

Another highlight is "Midnight Train," the album's title track. Shuping's vocals take center stage on this upbeat tune that tells the story of a man who leaves his troubles behind and hops on a train headed for a better life.
