Transitions, the third album from Boston ska stalwarts Westbound Train, is finally receiving its first ever vinyl pressing, 17 years after its initial release on Tim Armstrong’s He llcat Records. The 16-song set showcases the band in peak form, dexterously weaving flavors of early Jamaican ska, reggae, and rocksteady with the ‘60s American influences of jazz, soul, and funk to create their own authentic sound. As AllMusic states in their 4-star review, "Transitions isn't just an homage to the past, but a reinvention of all its power and glory.” Frontman Obi Fernandez provides powerful, emotive vocal performances throughout the record, and Alex Desert of Hepcat lends his signature voice for two cuts. The double LP comes housed in a gatefold jacket, featuring newly penned liner notes from producer and engineer Brian Wallace.TRACKLIST:A1 Transition 1A2 Please Forgive MeA3 Good EnoughA4 For The First TimeA5 The TestB1 Sorry MamaB2 I'm No DifferentB3 GoneB4 The RunaroundC1 Seven Ways To SundayC2 Soul RevivalC3 Transition 2C4 I Feel FineD1 Fatty Boom BoomD2 When I DieD3 Travel On Show more
