''Whether it's jazz or punk or anything else, you have to fight against the purists who want to narrow the definition. That's what kills music because it stifles it to death.'' -Joe Strummer
Sounds Like:

" .... Waitin on a Train plays acoustic Appalachian folk-and-bluegrass-inspired music with a modern rock-and-punk-influenced rhythm and vocal delivery. Their debut album, 2006's In the Path of Pain, featured entirely original material, though they play with an assured mastery of the idioms they're modernizing" Richie Unterberger All Music Guide -- www.allmusicguide.com

"...fresh sound that is both original yet firmly rooted in the traditional music of the Appalachian mountains. They reinvent the classic bluegrass harmony sound their own way, a rough-hewn jumble of American music served up with verve and spit. More like the Holy Modal Rounders than the Nashville Bluegrass Band...."-Rick Noll, Bona Fide Records- bonafide blog

"waiting on a train put on the highest energy most intimate set ever at the First Capital Dispensing Co and shook the floor with the hootin hollerin and dancing. fun times. fun sets. the fans would not let them stop playing. (and bought all their cd's too) " --pfr rockstop gallery

"Waitin' On A Train is about as old school -- in a good way -- as they come, and its members (Tony Staub, Paul Wykowski and Adam Sullivan) draw on the influences of Appalachian bluegrass/country music. Their sound is fresh and original, though it's deeply rooted in its predecessors."-ALEXIS DOW PENNLIVE HBG PATRIOT NEWS
