Save Me, San Francisco (Bonus Track Version) – TrainView More By Train Our ReviewSan Francisco’s Train has taken its sweet time putting together each album. For 2009’s Save Me, San Francisco, the group is now a trio with session musicians filling out their grand sound. The results took four years (with Monahan’s solo album Last of Seven in the middle) and a multitude of studios, engineers and producers to achieve their widescreen pop-rock approach. The title track kicks things off in a mild Stones shuffle. “Hey, Soul Sister” follows with a sprite beat that recalls the lightweight and catchy guitar-pop of Third Eye Blind and Sugar Ray. “I Got You” begins and ends with the Doobie Brothers’ “Black Water” taking over the tune. Train are now clearly rock veterans and singer Pat Monahan, while keeping the music forever young, is finally looking to settle down. There are plenty of radio-ready pop-rock romps like “If It’s Love.” But by the album’s closing track Monahan comes up with “Marry Me,” an acoustic ballad that takes the band full-circle and back to their club origins..

(5 stars) It's back to the basics for "Drops Of Jupiter"'s Pat Monahan, Jimmy Stafford, and Scott Underwood who have returned with a rejuvenated core band sound, and their best album since their self-titled release. Sporting a full-on celebration of its roots and all that is San Francisco, their latest is not any kind of concept album, though its stories and relationships are all San Fran-focused, with the best geo-shout-out going to The Doo BiographyFormed: 1994 in San Francisco, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '90s, '00s Train was inescapable during the turn of the 21st century, when songs like "Calling All Angels" and "Drops of Jupiter" made the San Francisco residents some of America's most popular balladeers. Although formed during the glory days of post-grunge, the group found more success in the pop/rock world, where Train straddled the line between adult contemporary and family-friendly alternative rock.
