Four and Twenty Blackbirds

by Carly Bryant

supported by

Chris O Carly Bryant brought so much to Big Big Train (soul, blues, imagination) that it was a forgone conclusion that I would explore her solo work.
This album lands somewhere in the middle of her recording career. An excellent set of songs recorded in 12 days time, fairly bursting with moodiness. She is a clever lyricist & strong player. Her band rings, buzzes, thumps & rocks. Her singing voice is distinctive & rich. Her NEW solo album is in the works & will be released on the English Electric label! Favorite track: Frankincense.

A lyrical and melodious record full of Big Big Train trademarks... Replete with gorgeous harmony, beautiful guitar work, washes of electronic coloring which include the Theremin and Progressive Rock time signature abound. Quite the accomplished recording. Gary Figueroa

The Likes Of Us (24-bit HD audio)
by Big Big Train

supported by 4 fans who also own “Four and Twenty Blackbirds”

The revived Big Big Train shows that you can't keep a good band down for long with a fairly easy listening, non confrontational selection of songs both traditionally long and catchingly short. if at times the acoustic guitars and sharp keyboard breaks are reminiscent of early Genesis then this is fully intended and respectful to the likes of Messrs Rutherford, Banks and Phillips. Vocal harmonies are, as expected, a delight to the ear and the whole is a big step forward from Welcome To The Planet graeme wright

London Song

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

The string ensemble is a great addition, especially on Brooklands. Now you'll have to sacrifice to the prog tradition and have a concert with a symphonic orchestra. And I'll have to fly to London to see it! Can't wait to see you in NJ! annapolis-sunrise
