Straight from Pat, Jimmy and Scott's mouths: "As promised earlier this week, we had a little surprise up our sleeves (and some of you were able to figure out what it was, so pat yourself on the back)... We here at Train aren't feeling very patient, so we've decided to let the cat out of the bag early for you. So without further adieu, may we present to you our brand new song "Drive By" from our upcoming new album. We hope you enjoy! Be sure to tell us what you think and we can't wait to play this for you again on the road. The song will be available on iTunes on January 10th!"

RAY WILSON & STILTSKIN's Unfulfillment domenica, 8 gennaio 2012 22:10 by madseason
ray wilson

Ray Wilson is a Scottish musician, best known as vocalist in the post-grunge band Stiltskin (do you remember their 1994's hit "Inside"?), and in Genesis between 1996 and 1998 ("Calling All Stations" period). In 2006 Ray resurrected the Stiltskin's moniker and released a quite good album titled "She".

In 2010, Wilson began to work on a successor to "She" with Uwe Metzler and Peter Hoff: the new album was released in September 2011 with the title "Unfulfillment" and is one of the nicest surprises of last year, because of the richness of the sound, the quality of the songs and the intensity of Ray's interpretation.

Clicking on the image above, you can watch the video for the single "First Day Of Change". For more music and further info, head on to Ray's website at raywilson.net.
