    Fire on the Rails is Track Dogs’ second LP recorded on the Studer A80 analog tape machine recovered from Abbey Road at Playground Studio in Madrid. Since Kansas City Out Groove (2018) and their compilation of ukulele-based recordings, Uke Songs By Track Dogs (2019), the band has deepened and elaborated its sound explored. Producer Germán Gutiérrez has managed to make Track Dogs pack even more punch and achieve grandeur in the sound that they’ve been cultivating over more than 100 songs in their recording career.

    As on their last album (Kansas City Out Groove), Track Dogs turned to Nashville talent to up the game on their compositions. Eli Bishop (Grand Ole Opry, Wynton Marsalis) provides string arrangements for “Love And War”, “On The Last Night” and “Abi’s Lullaby”. In line with the Nashville connection, Americana star, Ashley Campbell lends her pristine banjo picking to “Don’t Delay”. Track Dogs have extended the reach of their established sound to the realm of world music with “Love And War”. Apart from the strings of Eli Bishop and a cracking doumbek, the album’s lead track pulls together folk legends Phil Beer of Show of Hands, grammy-winning Lisa Gutkin of the Klezmatics and Fergal Scahill of We Banjo 3 to elevate the call for unity and tolerance that “Love And War” shouts for. Danny Erker (The Jones St. Boys) also adds some stellar mandolin to the track "Dragonfly's Castle".

    Track Dogs show off the group’s strength and growth in that lead vocals, mostly Garrett Wall, are also shared out by trumpeter Howard Brown in “And The Piano Sings” - a tribute to Freddy Mercury - and percussionist Robbie K. Jones in “I’ve Needed You” and “Dragonfly’s Castle”.

lyrics

When it Comes

(Capo 3 - tune to low D)

Let’s get out of here before we start

Telling each other we won’t break our respective hearts

I swear to you that we won’t stand a chance

If we succumb to what we pray will be some blind romance


All I want is to be clear

Now is that too much to ask?

If all I am is not enough

Then there’s no more to be said



We might be thankful in a year or two

Not to have wasted them on what would have been me and you

I’ll try to save you with some good advice

Just drive the car and don’t you dare to even look back twice


Should it be so hard?

You see that’s the problem we have to solve



Loves comes along it might come unexpected

Like a long lost friend you can’t make feel rejected

It might come too late and it’s so unfair 

But when it comes to love, who cares?



Let’s spend the night and see what morning brings

Just don’t make promises we’re better off without those things

I’ve seen it all and I’d say I’d been and gone

But there’s no substitute for learning right by doing wrong


Will we say, at the end of the day, it wouldn’t have worked?

Caught in time, prevention is the best medicine you can’t buy



Love comes along it might come unexpected

Like a big freight train you sure as hell must respect it

It won’t wait for you and you must pay the fare

But when it comes to love who cares 



Love comes along it might come unexpected

But you can’t always live knowing where it’s directed

It’s never up to and however unfair

When it comes to love, who cares?

Track Dogs image

Track Dogs Madrid, Spain

Track Dogs are an acoustic four piece based in Spain but hail from Ireland, the US and UK.

Taking their name from the NY subway maintenance teams this closely-knit group of ex-pats have opted for Cajón instead of drums and trumpet in place of electric guitar. Four-part harmonies steal the show.
