ABOUT 'DRIFTING DAYS' Nighttrains 2nd album from 2003"Drifting Days is an energetic, often joyful, imaginative collection of original tunes that remind the listener of just how much fun music can and should be. The CD, by Nighttrain, takes its inspiration from a variety of sources and comes up with a sound that is both familiar and fresh; each song leaves the ears pleased and the mind humming. The title track is a fast-paced tune that does anything but drift; other outstanding songs on this CD include my favorite, 'Fallen Angel', a joyous tune of love and redemption, as well as 'Same old 6's and 7's,'Going Up', 'Lady Luck', and 'All the Beautiful Things'.This CD certainly deserves airplay."- Maria Stuart, managing editor, The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus it's the bitches that'll git ya
